Located just south of Petersburg, Virginia Pamplin Historical Park is the site of the Battle of Petersburg. This critical Civil War battle occurred on the morning of April 2, 1865. Union troops led by Ulysses S. Grant’s broke through the defensive line of Robert E. Lee’s troops, ending the 10 month campaign of Petersburg and setting in motion the events leading to Lee’s surrender at Appomattox one week later.
There will be a three-hour tour lead by a Pamplin Park ranger. In addition visitors can visit the National Museum of The Civil War Soldier the park’s centerpiece. The 25,000 square foot, $13 million facility provides realistic scenes of training camps, field hospitals, winter bivouacs and a Civil War battlefield.
Thirteen Civil War soldiers tell of their experiences in camp, on the march and in battle. At the Battlefield Center a fiber optic battle map explains the 10-month campaign in 1864-1865 for the city of Petersburg.
