Point of Rocks Park & The Bermuda Hundred Campaign The Battle Line Between Petersburg and Richmond In May 1864, Union General Benjamin Butler landed an army on the Bermuda Hundred Peninsula in Chesterfield County. His goal was to set up a base of operations and advance towards Richmond and Petersburg. Butler constructed his main defensive line at Point of Rocks, along with an army hospital. The anchor of this defensive wall was the artillery bastion situated atop Drewry’s Bluff. Just weeks before his assassination, President Lincoln visited Point of Rocks. Today, the house Lincoln visited may be toured and the park is available for hiking and biking.
