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. Hear about some of the many terrifying urban legends from the Victorian era. Many of these legends were loosely based in fact and then propelled into a contentiousness of fear. \nTake this opportunity to experience what Edgar Allan Poe described as\, “The boundaries which divide Life from Death are at best shadowy and vague. 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. The cost is $24.00 per person which also includes a general admission to the Park for the day. Call (804) 861-2408 to reserve your experience beyond the dark veil.

SUMMARY:Fall Home School Day

SUMMARY:From Forests to Fields
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we explore the mid-19th century efforts to use wood in civilian products and military construction on July 20-21\, 2019 from 10:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. daily.\n\nPrograms will include several 30-minute woodworking demonstrations at both the Tudor Hall Plantation and the Military Encampment areas. These programs will occur multiple times daily\, so that visitors will have several opportunities to view them regardless of when they arrive.\n\nStaff in period attire at Tudor Hall will demonstrate woodworking skills and the required tools used in the production of common items of the era. Visitors are invited to join in on discussions to include period methods of selecting\, cutting and marketing wood products.\n\nVisitors can also join Civil War soldiers at the nearby Military Encampment as they demonstrate the construction of earthworks\, revetments and other obstacles. Several finished examples will be on hand and guests are encouraged to to help weave gabion baskets used in earthwork construction. Discussions will include how soldiers used every part of the tree for different purposes from firewood to building fabrication.\n\nA specially tailored Tudor Hall Plantation walking tour titled “From Forests to Fields” will be offered at 11:00-11:45 am\, and again from 2:00-2:45 pm. The Tudor Hall walking tour this particular day will focus on and incorporate the necessary removal of timber to create the fields where cash crops grew. Particular attention will be paid to explaining the different types of wooden structures commonly found on Southside Virginia plantations and their various methods of construction. Opportunities for comparing and contrasting the master’s\, and the enslaved (both domestic and field slaves) living quarters as well as their role in the deforestation and construction processes will also be covered. Enslaved people\, from field hand to skilled slaves (carpenters\, joiners\, and coopers) worked with and made products fashioned from wood virtually every day of their lives.\n\nWe will also offer the Breakthrough Battlefield Tour twice during the day\, from 1:00-1:45 pm\, and again from 3:00-3:45 pm. Additional emphasis will be placed on comparing and contrasting today’s battlefield landscape to that of period photographs that vividly illustrate the denuded terrain. Guides will also stress how soldiers constructed earthworks using local timber during the Petersburg Campaign. Tour discussions will also include sharing quotes from soldiers on both sides who described their use of timber and their thoughts on the denuded landscape during the Petersburg Campaign.\n\nAll event activities and programs are included with regular daily paid admission.

SUMMARY:I Spy: A Civil War Spy Academy
DESCRIPTION:During this two-day camp\, participants will hear the stories of several Civil War spies\, both Union and Confederate\, who did what they could to help their cause through covert means. Campers will learn about the skills needed to be an effective spy; everything from code breaking to effective disguises. Campers will also discover some the technology used during the Civil War that assisted spies in their work. The telegraph and the hot air balloon were both relatively new inventions that clandestine agents exploited during the war. By the end of the experience\, not only will campers have a better understanding of spying during the Civil War but\, they will also have had a hands-on experience pretending to be spies and complete a group spy mission. The camp is open to ages 8-11. Each day of the camp is from 9:00 am to 4:30 pm. Campers must pre-register and make payment. Camp cost is $100 per camper. Call (804) 861-2408 for more information and to pre-register for the camp.

SUMMARY:Veterans Day Observance & World War I Centennial
DESCRIPTION:Pamplin Historical Park & The National Museum of the Civil War Soldier is observing this Veterans Day with an observance ceremony and additional activities on November 11\, 2018. This year marks the centennial of the conclusion and armistice of World War I fought 1914-1918. Over 4.7 million Americans served in “the war to end all wars” and approximately 63\,000 did not return home. A further 200\,000 were wounded bearing emotional and physical scars for the remainder of their lives. This Veterans Day\, the park will honor the service of all service members who have fought in defense of America and liberty from the American Revolutionary War to the present day. \nA remembrance ceremony will start at 10:45 a.m. with a presentation of colors by the Virginia State University ROTC Color Guard followed by a Ringing of Bell Service and artillery salute. This will be followed by a living-history demonstration where park visitors can interact with World War I Doughboys and learn more about the American soldier in the “Great War”. A walking tour led by park staff will explore the parallels between the original Civil War earthworks at the park and the trench fighting that took place in World War I. Inside the park’s Education Center United States Army National Guard Historian Alexander Barnes will afterwards present a talk titled “Virginia’s Preparation and Participation in World War I” at 2:30 p.m. Activities will conclude with a selection of Civil War soldier’s songs in a musical performance by the Haversacks and Hardtack String Band in The National Museum of the Civil War Soldier.

SUMMARY:Focus Weekend: Technological Innovations
DESCRIPTION:Pamplin Historical Park & The National Museum of the Civil War Soldier is hosting a special weekend event focused on technological innovations both on the battlefield and on the farm during the antebellum era and the Civil War on August 18-19\, 2018. \nIt is said that for every year of warfare\, technology is advanced ten years or more. This is due to additional funding and a total commitment of a nation’s resources and talent toward achieving victory. Advancements that help to win ultimate victory on the battlefield can also change industry and day-to-day life on the home front. \nDaily between 10:30 am and 3:00 pm park visitors will be able to see period demonstrations in the Park’s military encampment area highlighting advancements in military technology from communications including the telegraph\, to evolutions in weaponry from cap and ball to the rim fire cartridge. One example is President Abraham Lincoln who was the first president to communicate\, with his officers and lead real-time strategies and deliver orders using the telegraph. \nFarming also saw new technologies in the mid-19th century\, which made work easier and more productive. The mechanical reaper invented by Cyrus McCormick in 1834 increased food production\, by harvesting crops mechanically and helped to meet the needs of a growing population and exports. Park staff will share these agricultural advancements and the Southern resistance to change\, at the Park’s Tudor Hall Plantation. \nVisitors are also invited to explore the original Breakthrough Battlefield with miles of trails or take a walk through the crop and vegetable gardens at the Field Quarters which include beautiful sun flowers. \nThese special weekend programs and those usually offered daily at the Park are included with regular paid general admission. Individual general admission is $1.00 from now through Labor Day (September 3) 2018 as part of the Park’s $1 Days of Summer.

SUMMARY:Focus Weekend: Medicine
DESCRIPTION:Daily between 10:30 am and 3:00 pm park visitors will be able to see period demonstrations highlighting military medicine and medical advancements used on and off of the battlefield and learning how pharmaceuticals played a role in prevention and treatment of diseases. \nThe American Civil War saw seven out of every ten soldier fatalities caused by disease rather than battlefield injuries. The lack of cleanliness and sanitation certainly added to the deaths as American poet and Civil War nurse Walt Whitman described one hospital as “quite crowded\, upstairs and down\, everything impromptu\, no system\, all bad enough\, but I have no doubt the best that can be done; all the wounds pretty bad\, some frightful\, the men in their old clothes\, unclean and bloody.” \nDysentery\, typhoid and pneumonia seemed more dangerous than enemy bullets. Those soldiers who were injured in battle typically had to endure amputations\, to remove shattered limbs. Even then\, only about seventy-five percent of them would survive the operations and fevers that followed. In spite of this\, one surgeon defended the volume of amputations by stating\, “I have no hesitation in saying that far more lives were lost from refusal to amputate than by amputation.” \nThis event allows visitors the chance to learn about these struggles of sick and wounded soldiers and about the men and women in medical services who cared for them. \nThese special weekend programs and those usually offered daily at the Park are included with regular paid general admission. Individual general admission is $1.00 from now through Labor Day (September 3) 2018 as part of the Park’s $1 Days of Summer.

SUMMARY:$1 Days of Summer at Pamplin
DESCRIPTION:Pamplin Historical Park & The National Museum of the Civil War Soldier is offering $1.00 general daily admission throughout the summer from Memorial Day May 28 through Labor Day September 3\, 2018. This drastically reduced admission rate will allow all people an opportunity to access this amazing facility and share in our national heritage from the Antebellum period\, including the institution of slavery\, through the Civil War. $1 admission has been made possible in part by The Bank of Southside Virginia and through private donations. \nThe Park strives to share the stories of civilians\, enslaved and common soldiers with all people as their stories are now part of the American experience\, which belongs to all Americans. All summer long\, visitors can share in the experiences in the museums\, at four historic homes and in the Park with new devices from Orpheo. These devices provide audio and images on a five inch screen at over 80 locations throughout the 424-acre campus. Additional focus weekends will offer unique historical interpretation programs. \nIn 2017\, the Park experimented by offer a $1 admission weekend which saw an over 1000% increase in attendance and engaged members of the local and regional communities who had never visited the Park. This served to break down economic and cultural barriers by allowing guests from all walks of life and backgrounds to explore the Park. \nDuring last year’s $1 admission event\, Park Executive Director Jerry Desmond spoke with one family of seven including four children ages 5-12. Desmond states\, “Seeing my name tag\, the father thanked me explaining that he had lived in Dinwiddie County all of this life. For the past 20 years he had driven by the Park every day on his way to work but had never stopped in because the admission price was too high.  On a regular day it would have cost him over $75 to bring his family to the Park…on that day it only cost him $7.” No better example highlights the passion and reasoning behind the reduced summer admission days. \nThe $1 general admission does not apply to group or guided tours\, which are required to book in advance and some special events require additional fees. Call (804) 861-2408 or visit www.pamplinpark.org for more information on summer activities and $1 admission days throughout the summer. \nOne of “Virginia’s Best Places to Visit” according to the Travel Channel\, and designated as a National Historic Landmark\, Pamplin Historical Park & The National Museum of the Civil War Soldier is a 424-acre Civil War campus located in Dinwiddie County\, Virginia offering a combination of high-tech museums and hands-on experiences.  The Park has four world-class museums and four antebellum homes. The Park is also the site of The Breakthrough Battlefield of April 2\, 1865 and America’s premiere participatory experience\, Civil War Adventure Camp. For more information\, please call 804-861-2408 or visit www.pamplinpark.org.
