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. Throughout the day a special display of artifacts from World War I will be available for viewing in the museum. \nAll activities and the ceremony are included with regular park admission to the general public and free to active duty service members and veterans.

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
