OLD HALIFAX ROAD Here the highway merges with the Halifax Road, the ancient road from Petersburg to Halifax, North Carolina. Over this road Cornwallis marched in May, 1781, from Halifax to Petersburg in his invasion of Virginia. Over this road the Confederates hauled supplies during the Siege of Petersburg, 1864-65, and over it parts of the Union and Confederate armies constantly passed.
