White House Bridge

White House Bridge was located west of Luray, Virginia over the South Fork of the Shenandoah River.

During the American Civil War, on 2 June 1862, Stonewall Jackson's cavalry chief Turner Ashby burned this bridge to slow down Federal pursuit of their forces.

The battles of Cross Keys and Port Republic were fought a week later.

Earlier that year, during April union cavalry had stopped Confederate forces from destroying the bridge.
