Pamplin Park Field Trip

Last week, we enjoyed a field trip to the Pamplin Historical Park in Petersburg, Virginia. Despite the rain, the kids had a great time and explored all aspects of the Civil War.

A big thank you to our 10 (yes, 10!) chaperones for accompanying us.
Learning about camp life during the Civil War

Practicing marching formation

Learning about the rifles used 

Practicing loading and shooting rifles (pretend)


Exploring artifacts to learn about field slave, house slave, farmer, and plantation owner lives
In addition to the activities in the above pictures, we explored the museum on site, walked through a plantation house, slave quarters, and learned about life in Confederate army camps.
