The dedication ceremony held on June 13, 2015 for Tennessee Historical Commission's "Civil War No Man's Land" roadside marker was a success, with about 120 people braving the hot weather to observe the first unveiling of the marker and to learn about Bradley County's Civil War heritage.
The top photo shows members of Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War and members of the United Daughters of the Confederacy.
