Description

This tour will allow participants to visit the site of a line of Confederate defensive works that served as the center of fighting during the Battle of Ware Bottom Church during the Bermuda Hundred Campaign. This defensive position was named for an artillery company that defended the region from assaulting Union troops. The earthworks are one of the best-preserved examples of fortifications that were part of the Howlett Line, which was a line of defensive works constructed by Confederate forces.
