This week: Homes on battlegrounds and historic sites

1. Upperville, Va. This four-bedroom home sits on 60 acres that are designated by the National Park Service as part of the site of the Battle of Unison, a precursor to Gettysburg. Union soldiers shelled the house just as Confederate Gen. Jeb Stuart was sitting down inside for dinner. The home features nine fireplaces, a game room, and an interior door damaged by one of the Union shells. $5,850,000. Andy Stevens, Long & Foster Extraordinary Properties, (703) 568-0727

2. Charles Town, W.Va. This Queen Anne–style Victorian was built in 1891 on the site where abolitionist John Brown, the leader of the raid on Harpers Ferry, was hanged after being tried for treason. The property of this five-bedroom house features a pool, a two-story barn—and the original outhouse. $1,599,000. Michael Hill, Long & Foster Realtors/Christie’s International Real Estate, (301) 992-4777
