Lee Memorial Park – Although Lee Memorial Park was not established until 1921, geologists and paleontologists have unearthed prehistoric sites and fossils dating as far back as 330 million years. Unique to the park area is its geological setting, a natural joining of the Piedmont to the Coastal Plain, which created a fertile site and a rich “botanical meeting ground” for rare plant species. Named to honor General Robert E. Lee, the park contains portions of the Dimmock Line, a series of earthworks that were built around Petersburg by Confederate troops to protect the city.
