editTo all interested:
This article should include Culpeper County, Virginia as well. The old Waterloo Post Office building referred to at the end of the text still stands today as it did in 1870 on the south side of the Rappahannock River in Culpeper County.
Just so you know...

editI am unable to add a cite to the main page, Wiki makes it a little too complicated for my taste. But there is an excellent resource for this:
Fisk, Wilbur. Letter to The Green Mountain Freeman. 10 August, 1863. Camp near Warrenton, VA. The Civil War: The Third Year Told by Those Who Lived It. Brook D. Simpson, editor. The Library of America. Literary Classics of the United States, Inc., New York, NY. 2013.
This letter is written by a Union soldier who was encamped between Waterloo and Warrenton. He describes Waterloo as it was then, and as it had been the year before. He talks about how the soldiers dismantled the town to add comfort features to their camps. Of particular poignancy, he talks about how they raided the garden of the one remaining family in Waterloo, and how he was stopped in his tracks by seeing the forlorn faces of the women and children watching from a window as their beautiful garden was destroyed. This letter is so well written that the reader is transported to Waterloo, 1863. KLMcCormick (talk) 19:00, 30 July 2013 (UTC)
