Events Calendar

Although the final campaign for Petersburg began in mid June 1864, some 40,000 Union troops threatened the city a month earlier.  The Army of the James under Major General Benjamin Butler landed at Bermuda Hundred in Chesterfield County on May 5, 1864 and launched a campaign that lasted two weeks. Pamplin Historical Park’s A. Wilson Greene will outline the events of this important and misunderstood series of battles in a free talk on Thursday February 2 at 7:00 p.m. in the Park’s Education Center. No reservations necessary.
