Save Glendale—
and Make History

The savage fighting at Glendale marked the fifth day of the 1862 Seven Days Campaign. As the Army of the Potomac withdrew toward the James River, Confederates under General Robert E. Lee attempted to defeat it in detail. Fighting was intense, with approximately 6,500 casualties, including five generals wounded and one captured.

In 2007 CWPT undertook one of the most important projects ever: The purchase of 319 acres of hallowed ground at Glendale for $4.1 million.

Robert E.L. Krick, Chief Historian at the Richmond Battlefields Park, stated that "the recent preservation success at Glendale defies comparison... There has been nothing like it before in Virginia... Never before in modern times has anyone preserved a major battlefield virtually from scratch."

Let's save Glendale.  Let's make history.
