Seven Days Battles
Golding's Farm
Half a mile northwest occurred the action of Golding's Farm at dusk on June 27, 1862, as the battle of Gaines's Mill, on the other side of the river, was ending. The Confederates, sallying from their defenses, attacked Hancock's brigade holding the right of the Union line south of the river. A severe fight followed that was ended by darkness.
Marker is at the intersection of North Airport Drive (Virginia Route 156) and Hanover Road, on the right when traveling east on North Airport Drive.
