Veterans Day Observance
November 11 @ 9:00 am - 5:00 pm
Pamplin Historical Park will offer multiple programs throughout the day. Park staff will also conduct a guided walking tour of the Breakthrough Battlefield, which occurred on April 2, 1865. The tour will offer attendees a chance to hear about the events which unfolded on that fateful morning while viewing some of the most well-preserved earthworks in the country. A notable story to be shared is that of Captain Charles Gould of the U.S. 5th Vermont Infantry Regiment who is credited as being the first man to enter the Confederate held earthworks. Gould would later receive the Medal of Honor for his actions during the battle.
This event is held in partnership with Strosnider Chevrolet.
