Pamplin Historical Park & The National Museum of the Civil War Soldier is celebrating Medal of Honor Day. There will be a presentation on the history of the MOH and how it’s requirements for recipients have become more strict. A display of MOH medals will illustrate the changes to the medal itself and how there are separate designs for branches of service. A special tour of the Breakthrough Battlefield will share the events of April 2, 1865 and highlight the stories of MOH recipients from the battle. Artifacts from two Petersburg Campaign recipients will be available for viewing in the Park’s Battlefield Center.
