SUMMARY:Focus Weekend: Prisoners of War
DESCRIPTION:Visit Pamplin Historical Park for the first of four Focus Weekend events. This event is title Prisoners of War and highlights the capturing prisoners\, which was a major facet of Civil War combat. An estimated 400\,000 to 600\,000 soldiers became prisoners during the war. Union General Horatio Wright’s U.S. Army VI Corps captured 3\,000 Confederates on April 2\, 1865 alone. \nImprisoned officers\, often received better treatment than their enlisted counterparts. Even after the official exchange system broke down\, high-ranking men were still traded for one another. Much emphasis is also given to the prison experience\, and comparatively little to the process beforehand. A processing program will reveal what the moment of capture looks like and the items and information surrendered to facilitate transport. \nThree programs are scheduled for the day: \n11 AM: “Hopeless and Gloomy Enough” \n· Thematic tour of Duty Called Me Here will discuss; desertion and prisons using the artifacts and overarching themes in each room\, as well as the story of Henry Robinson Berkeley\, a comrade who experienced capture. \n12 PM: Immortal 600 Presentation \n· Lecture/presentation on the Immortal 600: Federal and Confederate forces using prisoners to deter bombardment\, 600 Confederate officers endured hardship at Fort Pulaski during the Battle of Charleston. \n2 PM: Prisoner Processing \n· Highlights the experience of soldiers immediately after capture or surrender and what they give up in order to be processed and transported to a prison. \nFocus Weekend Programs are included with paid daily park admission from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. One 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 April 2\, 1865 battle saw the U.S. Army’s 6th Corps of 14\,000 men successfully assault the Confederate defenses\, and breakthrough to lift the 292-day siege of Petersburg. This forced the Confederates to evacuate both Petersburg and their capital city Richmond. Seven days later\, the surrender took place at Appomattox. Multiple stories of valor will be shared from the battle\, and a display of artifacts at the park’s Battlefield Center include a combatant’s Medal of Honor. Additional programming includes\, living historians portraying soldiers who will share why they fought and explain the equipment and camp life of the men during the Civil War in the park’s encampment area. \nDinwiddie County\, Virginia is home to a great amount of American history to include that of the American Revolutionary War. Dinwiddie County residents formed a Committee of Correspondence and several militia units were raised in Dinwiddie County. Many of these men went on to serve in Virginia state and Continental Army formations throughout the war. Others such as merchants\, supported the army through supplying food and materials or played other vitally important roles in the fight for independence. \nAll event activities and programs are included with regular daily paid admission. This event is sponsored by the Bank of Southside Virginia. \nThis event is a part of the VA250 celebrations taking place across Virginia\, to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the American Revolutionary War for independence. Established in 2020 to commemorate Virginia’s role in the 250th anniversary of American independence\, the Virginia American Revolution 250 Commission (VA250) aims to form a more perfect union by educating Virginians about their history and civic duty and sharing diverse narratives that capture Virginia’s complete story and role in shaping the nation.
