Allen's Farm is one of the names for the engagement fought on June 29, 1862, as the rearguard of the Army of the Potomac withdrew from the entrenchments at Fair Oaks to a position at Savage Station. This was part of McClellan's change of base to the James River in the series of battles known as The Seven Days. Allen's Farm was located near Orchard Station, and the engagement is known by that name, and also by the name Peach Orchard. The fighting lasted about two hours, from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m., and the rearguard then pulled back to Savage Station during the lull.
