Totopotomoy Line

Federal Works

Crossing the road at this point were Federal entrenchments heavily shelled by the Confederates in the operation of May 29-30, 1864, immediately preceding the Second Battle of Cold Harbor. The nearby Shelton House was mentioned frequently in dispatches.

Marker can be reached from Studley Road 0.8 miles east of Avondale Drive, on the right when traveling east.
