SUMMARY:Battlefields Tour of Grant's 5th Offensive
DESCRIPTION:Join Park Historians Tim Talbott and Gary Helm as they hit the road for a one-day tour on October 20\, 2017 and the public is invited to join them. The tour will combine a walking/driving tour of the wartime fortifications southeast of Richmond\, concentrating on what historians have come to call General Grant’s Fifth Offensive actions north of the James River \nCombined with other maneuvers southwest of Petersburg\, the Fifth Offensive fighting north of the James River developed along a series of fortifications constructed to protect the capital city. The first stop will be the New Market Heights (also known as Chaffin’s Farm) battlefield\, where on September 29\, General David Birney’s Union forces\, which included several USCT (African-American) regiments\, which achieved an initially successful penetration of Lee’s defenses. Fourteen African-American soldiers were bestowed the Medal of Honor for their heroic actions at New Market Heights. \nThe next stop is Fort Harrison and like neighboring New Market Heights\, Union forces captured Fort Harrison on September 29. However\, the Confederates held their ground further north\, which kept the lost terrain to a minimum. This will be a moderately rigorous trek appealing to nature lovers\, with some “field walking” as well as both primitive and developed hiking trails. \nThe tour begins at 9:00 a.m. and ends at approximately 5:30 p.m. A picnic lunch is provided at one of the battlefields and is included with the registration fee. \nSpace for this tour is limited. The tour is $79 for park members and $89 for non-park members. Registrations are required and accepted on a first-come\, first-served basis.

SUMMARY:"Midnight In America" Book Signing Event with Jonathan White
DESCRIPTION:The Civil War brought many forms of upheaval to America\, not only in waking hours but also in the dark of night. Sleeplessness plagued the Union and Confederate armies\, and dreams of war glided through the minds of Americans in both the North and South. Sometimes their nightly visions brought the horrors of the conflict vividly to life. But for others\, nighttime was an escape from the hard realities of life and death in wartime. Come out and hear historian Jonathan W. White explain what dreams meant to Civil War–era Americans and what their dreams reveal about their experiences during the war. He shows how Americans grappled with their fears\, desires\, and struggles while they slept\, and how their dreams helped them make sense of the confusion\, despair\, and loneliness that engulfed them. \nAfter the presentation Mr. White will be signing copies of his recently published book\, Midnight in America: Darkness\, Sleep\, and Dreams during the Civil War. A limited number of copies of the book will be available in the Civil War Store for purchase for the author signing. The event is free with your Pamplin Historical Park membership or paid park admission.

SUMMARY:Meade and Lee After Gettysburg Book Signing
DESCRIPTION:Join author Jeffrey Hunt as he speaks about his recently published book: Meade and Lee After Gettysburg: The Forgotten Final Stage of the Gettysburg Campaign\, from Falling Waters to Culpeper Court House\, July 14-31\, 1863 at Pamplin Historical Park. \nThe period of the Civil War in Virginia sandwiched between the traditional ending date of the Gettysburg Campaign and the arrival of U. S. Grant is routinely overlooked. The operations conducted during that period have been overshadowed by the bloodshed in Pennsylvania\, the large-scale Confederate victory at Chickamauga in September\, and the disastrous Southern defeat at Chattanooga two months later. Author Jeffrey Wm Hunt\, in his new Meade and Lee After Gettysburg: Vol. 1: From Falling Waters to Culpeper Courthouse\, July 14 to October 1\, 1863\, helps rectify this glaring oversight. \nThis event is included with regular Park admission or free to Park members.

SUMMARY:$1 Admission Weekend
DESCRIPTION:Pamplin Historical Park & The National Museum of the Civil War Soldier is celebrating Museum Weekend on September 23-24\, 2017 with $1.00 general admission. Why would a world-class museum reduce its admission to just $1.00? Some residents in the region say that they’ve never visited the Park\, even if they’ve lived in the area for some time. This reduced admission rate will allow the entire community an opportunity to access this amazing facility and share in our rich national history from the Antebellum period through the Civil War. \n9:00 am to 5:00 pm – Visitors can experience the award-winning Duty Called Me Here exhibit with seven galleries and explore both the museum\, historic homes and 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. \nAdditional special programming includes: \n11:00 am – Join author Jeffrey Hunt as he speaks about his recently published book: Meade and Lee After Gettysburg: The Forgotten Final Stage of the Gettysburg Campaign\, from Falling Waters to Culpeper Court House\, July 14-31\, 1863. The talk will be followed by a book signing with a limited number of books available for purchase. \n1:00 pm – Round Ball to Rim Fire Program: Come hear Park historian and period weapons expert Gary Helm trace the eighty years of weapons technology between the American Revolution and the Civil War. Helm will trace and demonstrate the changes on working reproduction firearms from the Civil War era. \nSaucy’s BBQ will on site all weekend to provide beverages\, pork\, beef\, chicken\, and ribs\, but it owes its name to its savory\, perfectly-blended barbecue sauce.
