Every Tree in Sight Was Bullet-Riddled: Gaines' Mill and Cold Harbor

We don't value battlefields for beauty, we rate them for historic significance and integrity. And Griffin's Woods, at the juncture of the Gaines' Mill and Cold Harbor battlefields is extraordinary in both regards. Help us save 56 acres of land associated with five Civil War battles. https://bit.ly/3qOPtuj

Watch as Robert "Bobby" Krick of the Richmond National Battlefield Park describes the historic events that took place in what is now called Griffin's Woods. This land has been at the very top of every historian’s and preservationist’s “must-have” list for more than two decades.

The American Battlefield Trust preserves America’s hallowed battlegrounds and educates the public about what happened there and why it matters. We permanently protect these battlefields for future generations as a lasting and tangible memorial to the brave soldiers who fought in the American Revolution, the War of 1812, and the Civil War.
