Volunteers will inform visitors on the civilian as well as military events that transpired on and aroung the grounds during the Civil War. Germanna Community Coll. Dan Patterson, Great Grandson of General Longstreet, Civil War historian, and past president of the Bull Run Civil War Roundtable, will present a program on his famous ancestor. Longstreet was wounded by his own men during his famous flank attack on the Federal left during the Battle of the Wilderness. This will be a very interesting and rare occasion to here insight on the General from his direct descendant.
Program is free to the public.
There will also be an activity area where visitors can color Civil War pictures and do word puzzles. No registration is required, just show up. The program is free and children of all ages are welcome. Arrangements are being made to have the new book available for purchase at this program for a reduced price with all proceeds donated to the Friends. The program is free to the public.
