SUMMARY:Valentine Tea
DESCRIPTION:Join Pamplin Historical Park’s Valentine Tea where park staff are attired in mid- 1800s\, clothing and will present a themed program. Due to the popularity of this program\, reservations and prepayment are required. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Victorians were creative in divining what their true loves would look like\, what their names would start with\, and other defining features. Victorian men and women attempted to divine their future spouses in all sorts of ways: pouring melted lead into cold water to figure out her future husband’s profession from the shapes made\, dipping hands into various bowls of water blindfolded to determine whether they will marry a bachelor\, widower\, or remain single\, roasting nuts over the fire to find out whether a couple is compatible. \nThis Valentine’s Day Tea we will divine our future loves and spouses.  We will explore some of these fortune-telling methods to see how well they work with current couples\, and allow single folks to explore their possibilities in romance. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis in person event cost is $30.00 per person for non-members and $25.00 for park members. \nPurchase in person event ticket(s) by clicking here. \nA separate virtual option is available. The virtual cost is $15.00 per person. \nPurchase virtual event ticket(s) by clicking here. \n

SUMMARY:War in the Pacific Living History Event
DESCRIPTION:This living history event brings to life the experiences of fighting in the Pacific Theater and the home front during World War II. Guests will have the opportunity to learn from living historians portraying soldiers who fought in the Pacific Theater and about a number of different aspects of a soldier’s life to include weapons\, signals and communications\, and tactical demonstrations. Impressions will range from U.S. Army and Marines to those of British and Russian allies. Civilian living historians will portray goings on at the home front and USO activities stateside. Demonstrations will include medical\, cooking\, weapons and a military uniform and civilian fashion show. A special tactical demonstration will be performed on Saturday afternoon to illustrate the art of fire and maneuver. \nWorld War II\, which was fought between 1939 and 1945\, cost an estimated 85 million casualties both military and civilian worldwide. The United States military casualties amounted to 416\,800. While many were thankful for the surrender in Europe on May 8\, 1945 the war in the Pacific raged on and was far from over. The battles of Iwo Jima and Okinawa during the first half of the year gave a glimpse of the carnage awaiting invasion forces set to strike the Japanese home islands. A planned Allied invasion on the island of Kyushu was set for November 1st. There 500\,000 Japanese troops were in position and another 6 million were under arms or able to be called into service. This invasion did not come to pass. The dropping of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki forced Imperial Japan to accept an unconditional surrender. The terms were accepted on August 14\, 1945 and a formal document signing ceremony took place aboard the U.S.S. Missouri in Tokyo Bay on September 2nd. \nAll event activities and programs are included with regular daily paid admission. \nSchedule: \nSaturday \n9:00 a.m.\nLiving History Camps Open to the Public\nBattlefield Center Field \n11:00 a.m. WWII Pacific Theater Weapons Demonstration\nLiving History Demonstration – Battlefield Center Field \n1:00 p.m. Uniform Talk\nLiving History Demonstration – Education Center Picnic Pavilion \n3:00 p.m. WWII Pacific Theater Weapons Demonstration\nLiving History Demonstration – Battlefield Center Field \n4:45 p.m. Living History Camps Closed to the Public\n5:00 p.m. Park Closes \nSunday \n9:00 a.m. Living History Camps Open to the Public\nBattlefield Center Field \n12:00 p.m. WWII Pacific Theater Weapons Demonstration\nLiving History Demonstration – Battlefield Center Field \n1:00 p.m. Living History Camps Closed to the Public \n2:00 – 2:45 p.m. Civil War Camp Life and Rifle Demonstration\nLiving History Demonstration – Military Encampment \n3:00 – 3:45 p.m. War So Terrible – Civil War combat film\nRunning time: 50 minutes – Battlefield Center \n5:00 pm\nPark Closes

SUMMARY:A Christmas Past
DESCRIPTION:Experience the holidays in 19th century style. Families will enjoy the opportunity for children to meet a ‘Thomas Nast’ Santa Claus including photo opportunities and the chance to enjoy cookies and hot chocolate. Thomas Nast is considered to be the “Father of the American Cartoon” and among his most notable works is his creation of the modern version of Santa Claus. \nChildren will have the opportunity to participate in a craft making activity where the finished holiday craft can be taken home or presented as a gift to a friend. Guests are invited to sign a holiday card for mailing to active duty soldiers serving abroad away from home and family for the holidays. \nEveryone can step into the past with holiday trimmings and décor as the historic Tudor Hall is transformed into a mid-1800’s home for the holidays. Costumed interpreters will provide holiday specific programming throughout the day for this full immersion experience. As former U.S. President Calvin Coolidge said\, “Christmas is not a time nor a season\, but a state of mind. To cherish peace and goodwill\, to be plenteous in mercy\, is to have the real spirit of Christmas.” \nSoldiers throughout time spent some holidays away from friends and family and Civil War soldiers did as well. Visitors will have the opportunity to see how soldiers decorated their quarters for the holidays and celebrated Christmas in the field while on campaign.

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:Halloween Tea
DESCRIPTION:This Halloween have a hauntingly good time while enjoying great tea and treats. Learn about the historical importance of 19th century Victorian mourning traditions\, and mourning attire while enjoying fall themed refreshments.

Who shall say where the one ends\, and where the other begins?” from his work “The Premature Burial”. \nThe Park’s Halloween Tea will only be offered one afternoon and space is limited. Due to the popularity of the tea programs\, reservations and prepayment are required. RSVP on Eventbrite by October 24th. The event will be held at The National Museum of the Civil War Soldier located at 6125 Boydton Plank Road\, Petersburg\, VA 23803.
