Fireside Talk: A 160th Commemorative Program at Appomattox Station

April 8 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm

$10
  • « April First Friday: Roaring Lynchburg
  • 3 Bucks at Three Roads »

We invite you join us as we draw close to a smoky campfire and spend an evening on the Appomattox Station Battlefield, the site of one of the final battles fought by the Army of Northern Virginia. The Appomattox-Petersburg Preservation Society will present a fireside talk where guests will be able to meet individuals who played a significant role in the Battle of Appomattox Station. Dedicated living historians will bring their stories to life — tales of hope, triumph, despair, and defeat.

Join us on the very ground where the fighting took place at the very same time 160 years ago and experience the stories printed long ago as we bring them to life before you!

Two programs will be offered! One will begin at 6:00pm and the second at 7:30pm!

Price: Adults $10, Under 18 $5 — Tickets will be sold at the event.

Guests are encouraged to bring lawn chairs for their convenience. There are no on-site restroom facilities.
