Fort Darling

Defences of Drewry's Bluff

Eastward 150 yards was the Confederate Fort Darling which constituted, with the works at Chaffin’s Bluff across the James, the main defence of the approaches to Richmond by water. Often the target of Federal fire, Fort Darling held out till Richmond fell.

Marker can be reached from Fort Darling Road.
