Long Bridge

One mile south is Long Bridge over the Chickahominy River. Benedict Arnold sent Simcoe there in the British invasion of 1781. Longstreet crossed there in the Peninsular Campaign, May, 1862. Grant's Fifth and Second Corps crossed there, in June, 1864, on the way to Petersburg.

Marker is at the intersection of PocahontasTrail (U.S. 60) and Roxbury Road, on the right when traveling east on PocahontasTrail.
