As part of the regional Commemoration of the Surrender & Freedom Day Weekend, April 8-9, the American Civil War Museum invites the public to attend our variety of programs and activities commemorating the Surrender and Freedom Day Weekend.
Throughout the day visitors will be able to interact with living historians portraying soldiers from the 11th and 24th Virginia, the 99th New York and the 3rd U.S. Infantry and with the Pallas Athena Ladies Aid Society, demonstrating the equipment, comfort supplies, and services provided to soldiers and hospitals by aid societies during the Civil War. Children can go through the soldier’s enlistment process and practice drilling.
Food and beverages will be available for purchase from the Appomattox Fire Department and the Appomattox County High School Cross Country Team. Music will be provided by Banjo Bob.
