On one side of the property, the Louisville and Nashville Railroad established Knoxville branch tracks (now owned by the Kentucky Railway Museum) with a station at New Haven.

After the Skirmish at New Haven[2] and the end of the Civil War, roads on the property were cut through the path[clarification needed] in the nineteenth century; in the twentieth they became farm roads, and eventually ceased to exist altogether, with only what is now Kentucky State Route 52 still remaining.

The regimental staff arrived in November 1862 and a smaller headquarters stockade and a stable for their horses were added.

[6] During Morgan's Christmas Raid in 1862, three companies of the 9th Kentucky Cavalry arrived near New Haven late on December 29 to destroy the Rolling Fork railroad bridge.

The next morning New Haven native Captain Henry P. Housley delivered the Confederate surrender demand to Fort Allen.
