SUMMARY:Breakthrough Battle Anniversary
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we remember the 157th Anniversary of the Breakthrough Battle which ended the Petersburg Campaign and forced the Confederate withdrawal from Richmond. \nAt 4:40 a.m. April 2\, 1865\, some 14\,000 Union soldiers moved forward in the chilly gloom toward the Confederate fortifications six miles southwest of Petersburg. Less than an hour later\, the American flag flew over the Confederate line following one of the most important battles of the entire Civil War. This engagement led directly to the evacuation of both Petersburg and Richmond. One week later\, Robert E. Lee surrendered to Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Court House and our nation began the long process of healing. \nThe Park will hosts a full schedule of activities and programs for walk-in visitors each day. Visitors will have the opportunity to join in a walking tour of the battlefield\, drill with the troops\, see a presentation on period clothing and uniforms\, meet Captain Charles Gould of the 5th Vermont Infantry Regiment (recreated) and more. Author John Selby will also be presenting a discussion on Union General George Meade and his performance during the Petersburg Campaign. Selby will be available afterwards for a book signing of his work “Meade: The Price of Command” and his book will be available for purchase. \nAll programs are included with Park admission. Daily admission for adults is $15\, seniors (65+) and Military w/ID $12.00\, children (6-12) $8\, and children under 6 free.

SUMMARY:NPS Petersburg & Pamplin Historical Park Tour
DESCRIPTION:*Due to ongoing concerns about the novel coronavirus (COVID-19)\, Pamplin Historical Park and the National Museum of the Civil War Soldier is cancelling or postponing all events and programs until April 15\, 2020\, based upon the guidance of the CDC regarding “social distancing” and the elimination of large gatherings.  This decision is being made out of an abundance of caution.  It will be impossible to know if we are overreacting or doing too much\, but it will be quite apparent if we underreact or do too little.  Please continue to check our website and social media accounts for additional updates.* \nAs a collaborative effort\, Petersburg National Battlefield and Pamplin Historical Park are excited to offer an early morning guided tour of the Breakthrough Battlefield on Thursday\, April 2\, 2020. The tour will begin at the Jones Farm parking area (near intersection of Hofheimer Way and Church Road) at 5:30 a.m. and follow the route of the Army of the Potomac’s VI Corps assault to the Confederate earthworks defended by Brig. Gen. James Lane’s North Carolina Confederates. \nThis tour starts at 6506 Church Road\, Petersburg\, Virginia 23803 and will last 2 hours and will require roughly 1.5 miles of walking over occasionally uneven terrain. The tour is free and open to the public\, however\, donations for continued preservation efforts are appreciated.

SUMMARY:Veterans Day
DESCRIPTION:As former U.S. President Ronald Reagan stated “We remember those who were called upon to give all a person can give\, and we remember those who were prepared to make that sacrifice if it were demanded of them in the line of duty\, though it never was. Most of all\, we remember the devotion and gallantry with which all of them ennobled their nation as they became champions of a noble cause.” In the spirit of Reagan’s quote\, Pamplin Historical Park staff will offer multiple programs throughout the day\, to include presentations on Medal of Honor recipients\, a comparison of Civil War and U.S. World War II soldiers\, a performance of soldier’s songs from the Civil War and a ceremony with cannon fire salute. \nPark Director of Education\, Tim Talbott will present a talk at 11:15 am on Medal of Honor recipients from the Breakthrough Battle which occurred on April 2\, 1865. The most notable of these was 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. \n\nA Veterans Day ceremony will start at noon with a presentation of colors by the Virginia State University ROTC Color Guard followed by a cannon fire salute. Afterwards\, Civil War programming will be joined by a World War II G.I. living-history demonstration where historical comparisons will be made between the soldiers of both wars. Visitors will see that some elements remain the same and many different as General George S. Patton observed in his quote\, “If everyone is thinking alike\, someone isn’t thinking.”\n\n\nFamilies are also invited to join in soldier’s songs at 2:45 pm from the Civil War with a live performance by the Haversacks and Hardtack String Band. Everyone will enjoy traditional songs of home such as “Just Before the Battle Mother” and more lighthearted songs like “Goober Peas.”\n\nAll visitors will have the opportunity to join staff for tours of the Breakthrough Battlefield which on April 2\, 1865\, resulted in the evacuation of both Petersburg and Richmond. A temporary display of World War II artifacts will also be available for viewing in the National Museum of the Civil War Soldier.\n\nAll event activities and programs are included with regular daily paid admission.\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:25th Anniversary Photo Contest
DESCRIPTION:Pamplin Historical Park and The National Museum of the Civil War Soldier is launching a “25th Anniversary Photo Contest” to celebrate 25 years of education and preservation. The contest is open to all U.S. residents 18 years of age and above.  This contest provides an opportunity for entrants to capture the natural beauty of the 424-acre park and its historic structures and battlefield. \nOne of the most well know photographers in history\, Mathew Brady once said\, “My greatest aim has been to advance the art of photography and to make it what I think I have\, a great and truthful medium of history.” Now park visitors of all ages have this unique opportunity to capture their own moment in time and enter to win one of two $100 cash prizes. \nThe contest will accept photo submissions from March 10 through May 10\, 2019.  All photographs must have been taken at Pamplin Historical Park during the contest period.  Photographs taken prior to March 10\, 2019 are not eligible to be entered. All photographs taken at Pamplin Historical Park are limited to exterior locations. \nDigital photographs only will be accepted.  Photos can be uploaded electronically (along with a completed entry form) and submitted via email to generalmailbox@pamplinpark.org. Entrants may submit photos in one of two categories: Professional or Non-professional. For the purposes of this contest\, a professional is deemed to mean anyone who receives income from their photography and/or services. Participants may submit up to two (2) photographs in one of two categories: Professional or Non-professional. An entry form is required for each photograph. \nA panel of judges will select the winners. Winning photographs will be based on overall composition and technical skill.  A $100 cash prize will be awarded in both the Professional and Non-professional categories. Additional prizes in each category include Second Prize of a $50 Gift Certificate for use in Pamplin Historical Park’s Civil War Store\, and Third Prize of a $25 Gift Certificate for use in Pamplin Historical Park’s Civil War Store.
