Seven Days Battles

Gaines’s Mill

Here Lee and Stonewall Jackson conferred in the morning of June 27, 1862. Jackson’s troops halted here until A. P. Hill arrived from Beaver Dam Creek. Hill then moved southward by Gaines’s Mill and Longstreet turned to the east. All three columns approached the Union position on Boatswain Creek.

Marker is on Cold Harbor Road (Virginia Route 156) east of Autumn Ridge Lane, on the right when traveling east.
