[[Woodside (Milton, North Carolina)|Woodside]], a historic plantation home, is located {{convert|2|mi|0}} southeast of town along Highway 57. It was the home of Caleb Hazard and Mary Dodson Richmond during the mid-19th century. General [[Stephen Dodson Ramseur]], a distinguished [[American Civil War]] hero, was a nephew of Caleb Hazard and Mary Dodson Richmond and stayed with them while recuperating from injuries received in the [[Battle of Malvern Hill]]. While there he fell in love with their daughter, Ellen, and they were married in the parlor. Ramseur was killed almost a year later at the [[Battle of Cedar Creek]]. Three days after his death, their only daughter was born at Woodside. A historic marker stands at the front of the yard to honor Ramseur. Inside the house is the book about him, titled ''Lee's Gallant General''. The parlor where the marriage took place is named the Ramseur Parlor, and the portraits of General and Mrs. Ramseur are highlighted in two recessed alcoves in remembrance of their story.<ref>[http://www.thewoodsidehouse.com The Woodside House]</ref>
