Redoubt Park

On May 5, 2007, Redoubt Park, on Quarterpath Road, was dedicated to commemorate the 145th anniversary of the Battle of Williamsburg. Soldiers and slaves constructed Redoubts 1 and 2 in Redoubt Park to guard Quarterpath Road and the Williamsburg Line's right flank overlooking Tutters' Mill Pond. The Williamsburg Line was the site of a combat on May 5, 1862, with about 3800 Union and Confederate casualties. The Union took control of the Virginia Peninsula after this inconclusive battle. These fortifications stand as a stark memorial to those who served and helped shape America's destiny.
