SUMMARY:Slavery & Freedom: Lectures & Book Signing
DESCRIPTION:“Who freed the slaves?” Since the end of the Civil War this complex question is one that many people have sought to answer definitively. Often due to the many different ways that Americans remember the process of emancipation\, its answer remains elusive. However\, thinking about this significant question opens opportunities for learning about different historical perspectives. Come hear Tim Talbott ponder this question and explore the possible answers at 1:00 p.m. \nA second speaker\, Eugene Meyer will speak at 2:00 p.m. about his recently published book Five for Freedom: The African American Soldiers in John Brown’s Army. Late on the evening of October 16\, 1859\, John Brown and his band of 18 raiders descended on Harpers Ferry at the confluence of the Potomac and Shenandoah Rivers. In an ill-fated attempt to incite a slave insurrection\, they seized the federal arsenal\, took hostages and retreated to a fire engine house where they barricaded themselves until a contingent of US Marines battered their way in on October 18. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe raiders were routed\, and several were captured. Soon after\, they were tried\, convicted and hanged. Among Brown’s raiders were five African Americans whose lives and deaths have long been overshadowed by their martyred leader and\, even today\, are little remembered. Two—John Copeland and Shields Green—were executed. Two others—Dangerfield Newby and Lewis Leary—died at the scene. Newby\, the first to go\, was shot in the neck\, then dismembered by townspeople and left for the hogs. He was trying to liberate his enslaved wife and children. \nOf the five\, only Osborne Perry Anderson escaped and lived to publish the lone insider account of the event that\, most historians agree\, was a catalyst to the catastrophic Civil War that followed over the country’s original sin of slavery. \nFive for Freedom is the story of these five brave men\, the circumstances in which they were born and how they came together at this time and place\, grew to manhood and died. Their lives and deaths affected future generations\, not just of their descendants\, but of us all. It is a story that continues to resonate in the present. \nThis event is included with regular Park admission or Park membership and a limited quantity of books will be available for purchase and signing. \n

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:In Memory of Self and Comrades: Book Signing Event
DESCRIPTION:Join author Michael K. Shaffer as he discusses his new book In memory of Self and Comrades which is a story about Thomas W. Colley\, 1st Virginia Cavalry. This event is included with regular admission.\n\nThomas W. Colley served in one of the most active and famous units in the Civil War\, the 1st Virginia Cavalry\, which fought in battles in the Eastern Theater\, from First Manassas/Bull Run to the defense of Petersburg. Colley was born November 11\, 1837\, outside Abingdon\, Virginia\, and grew up knowing the daily demands of life on a farm. In May 1861\, along with the other members of the Washington Mounted Rifles\, he left his home in Washington County and reported to camp in Richmond. During the war\, Colley received wounds on three different occasions: first at Waterloo Bridge in 1862\, again at Kelly’s Ford in 1863\, and finally at Haw’s Shop in 1864. The engagement at Haw’s Shop resulted in the amputation of his left foot\, thereby ending his wartime service.\n\n\n\nThe first modern scholarly edition of Colley’s writings\, In Memory of Self and Comrades dramatizes Colley’s fate as a wounded soldier mustered out before the war’s conclusion. Colley’s postwar reflections on the war reveal his struggle to earn a living and maintain his integrity while remaining somewhat unreconciled to his condition. He found much of his solace through writing and sought to advance his education after the war. As one of an estimated 20\,000 soldiers who underwent amputation during the Civil War\, his memoirs reveal the challenges of living with what many might recognize today as post-traumatic stress disorder. Annotations from editor Michael K. Shaffer provide further context to Colley’s colorful and insightful writings on both his own condition and the condition of other veterans also dealing with amputations. \nMichael K. Shaffer is an instructor at Kennesaw State University’s College of Continuing and Professional Education. He is the author of Washington County\, Virginia\, in the Civil War.

SUMMARY:Home School Day at Pamplin

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:The War Outside My Window Book Signing Event
DESCRIPTION:Join editor Janet Elizabeth Croon for a discussion and signing of a Civil War Title: The War Outside My Window: The Civil War Diary of LeRoy Wiley Gresham\, 1860-1865. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLeRoy Gresham was born in 1847 to an affluent and prominent slaveholding family in Macon\, Georgia. As a young child he suffered a horrific leg and back injury that left him an invalid. Educated\, inquisitive\, perceptive\, and exceptionally witty\, the 12-year-old began keeping a journal in 1860—just before secession and Civil War tore the country and his world apart. He continued to write even as his health deteriorated until both the war and his life ended in 1865. His unique view of a waning age is published here for the first time in A Son of Georgia: The Civil War Journals of LeRoy Wiley Gresham\, 1860-1865. Edited and annotated with meticulous care by Janet Croon\, A Son of Georgia: The Civil War Journals of LeRoy Wiley Gresham\, 1860-1865 captures the spirit and the character of a young privileged white teenager witnessing the demise of his world even as his own body is slowly failing him. Just as Anne Frank has come down to us as the adolescent voice of World War II\, LeRoy Gresham will now be remembered as a young voice of the Civil War South. \n\nBook’s webpage: https://tinyurl.com/y7be9nnx\n\nThis event is included with regular admission.

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.

SUMMARY:Home School Day
DESCRIPTION:Pamplin Historical Park & The National Museum of the Civil War Soldier is offering a special field trip program this May for home school families and associations. Home School Tours at Pamplin Historical Park include educational programs that use fun\, participatory learning techniques to teach historical lessons about life in the nineteenth century. \nEach Home School Tour includes a visit to the award-winning exhibit Duty Called Me Here and two hands-on programs\, Plantation Life\, and A Civil War Soldier’s Life\, led by Pamplin Historical Park Educators. These programs are individually designed for children from third to twelfth grade. \nDuty Called Me Here brings visitors face-to-face with the experiences of the nearly three million Americans who became soldiers during the Civil War. Personal audio players enable students to follow the true story of a “soldier comrade.” In Plantation Life\, students study how free and enslaved Virginia families lived 150 years ago and how that lifestyle changed during the Civil War. In A Civil War Soldier’s Life\, students participate in military drills\, observe weapons demonstrations\, and visit the Park’s recreated Military Encampment\, where they experience elements of a soldier’s life. \nTour times are from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Tours cost $9.50 for children grades K-12 and $11.00 for adults. Reservations and a non-refundable prepayment by credit card or check are required. For reservations\, contact a Park Reservation Specialist at 804-861-2408 or email groups@pamplinpark.org.
