History
Potomac Crossing is home to Ball's Bluff Battlefield Regional Park and covers some of the land on which a Civil War battle, the Battle of Balls Bluff, was fought between the Union and Confederate armies. Balls Bluff National Cemetery is recognized as being located in this subdivision.
On October 21, it is rumored by local Leesburg residents that the ghost of Union Colonel Edward D. Baker appears at his grave marker in the park. Ghost hunters frequent the park on this night, but have to leave when the park closes at dusk.
