Join the Petersburg Battlefields Foundation (PBF) for this Civil War educational caravan driving tour highlighting unique sites within the Eastern Front of the Petersburg National Battlefield that you may not have noticed before
David Lowe, Phil Shiman, and Julia Steele, who call themselves “The Petersburg Project”, have been researching, studying, revealing, and verifying unique features and sites of the Petersburg Campaign for over 20 years. Petersburg Project will be utilizing Civil War era photographs, maps, and other items to give us new insights and perspectives for various sites we will visit within the Eastern Front of Petersburg National Battlefield. The caravan tour will include stops at soldier wells, an icehouse that was between the lines and raided by both sides before becoming a U.S. artillery position, mortar positions (no, we didn’t get to these in Part Deux), and battlefield features important during the initial assault and the Battle of the Crater.
You’ve never seen the Eastern Front like this before – you will not want to miss this unique tour! Water and Snacks will be provided during the tour.
