It is an American Civil War redoubt built by the Confederate States Army about 1863 to protect Six Mile Bridge and the James River and Kanawha Canal system along the James River. Fort Riverview served as part of the outer defense system for Lynchburg, Virginia. The protection of this bridge was vital to the Confederacy as it carried supplies for General Robert E. Lee. Since Lynchburg served as a major supply, staging, and hospital center, Fort Riverview was strategically located to protect this critical center.[3][4] It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.[2] References1. ^{{cite web|title=Virginia Landmarks Register|publisher=Virginia Department of Historic Resources|url=http://www.dhr.virginia.gov/registers/register_counties_cities.htm|accessdate=2013-05-12}} {{National Register of Historic Places in Virginia}}{{AmherstCountyVA-NRHP-stub}}2. ^1 {{NRISref|version=2010a}} 3. ^Historic Riverview on the James 4. ^Norfolk Southern Six Mile Bridge No. 58 NRHP nomination 4 : American Civil War sites|Archaeological sites on the National Register of Historic Places in Virginia|National Register of Historic Places in Amherst County, Virginia|American Civil War on the National Register of Historic Places |
