Lee's Mill Earthworks
- Also Known As: 121-0050
- Also Known As: Mill Tract
- Address: 280 Rivers Ridge Cir
The Lee's Mill earthworks, situated on a ten-acre parcel in a rapidly developing area of Newport News, are remnants of the Confederate Warwick-Yorktown defensive line from the 1862 Peninsula Campaign. The earthen fortifications were erected between the summer of 1861 and the spring of 1862. Although once cleared of trees for a better field of fire, the area is now in oak, beech, and pine timber overlooking the Warwick River. This historic area is bounded by Fort Eustis, the Warwick River, and the Mill's Ridge housing development; thereby, providing green space in a suburban area. A walking trail parallels the fortifications around the river and leads back toward the parking lot. At the entrance, a Virginia Civil War Trails interpretative sign details the April 5, 1862 Battle of Lee's Mill. - NRHP, 4 July 2002
