SUMMARY:Independence Day Celebration
DESCRIPTION:As essayist John Burroughs stated “That which distinguishes this day from all others is that then both orators and artillerymen shoot blank cartridges.” In the spirit of Burroughs’ quote\, Pamplin Historical Park staff will offer multiple programs throughout the day\, to include presentations of 1856 Independence Day campaign speeches and a ceremony with a cannon fire salute.\n\nFamilies are invited to participate in 19th century games such as a sack race and 3-legged race among others to be held on the picturesque Tudor Hall lawn. A period baseball game will also be held at the Battlefield Center Field where guests are invited to join in the game. \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.\n\nCivil War programming will be joined by an American Revolutionary War living-history demonstration where historical comparisons will be made between the soldiers of both wars. Visitors will see that some inspirations remain the same as Ben Franklin observed in his quote\, “Where liberty dwells\, there is my country.”\n\nAll event activities and programs are included with regular daily paid admission.\n\n\n\n\n\nSchedule of Events:  \nLoad in Nine Times \nRifle Musket demonstration \n10:00-10:20 am – Demonstration Area \n 1857 Independence Day Campaign Speeches \nLiving History by Gary Helm & Zachary Pittard \n10:45-11:00 am – Tudor Hall Front Porch \nIndependence Day Games \nSack Races\, 3-Legged Races\, etc. \n11:00-11:45 am \nTudor Hall West Yard \nBreakthrough Battlefield Tour \n11:15-12: pm\, 3:30-4:15 pm \nMeet at Battlefield Center \nIndependence Day Celebration \nColor Guard\, Pledge of Allegiance\, Artillery Firing \n12:30-12:45 pm \nFortification Exhibit \nThe Breakthrough Nine \nPeriod Baseball Demonstration \n1:15 – 2:00 pm \nBattlefield Center Field \nThe Revolutionary War & Civil War Soldier:  \nA Historical Comparison \nLiving History by Bill Stallings & Ethan Brown \n2:30-3:20 pm \nEducation Center \n  \nOngoing throughout the day: \nBreakthrough Presentation \nRunning time: 10 minutes – Battlefield Center \nSlavery in America \nPush button – Running time: 20 minutes \nField Quarter \n
