Chewning Farm is Stop Five on the Wilderness Battlefield Auto Tour.  Although looted, the farmhouse of 69 year old William V. Chewning, his wife and two grown children survived the battle and stood until 1947.

Beside the pull-off is a historical marker and a trailhead marker for the trail that leads into the Chewning Farm field:
