SUMMARY:The Presidential Election of 1864
DESCRIPTION:The American Civil War Museum–Appomattox is pleased to host a special program presented by the Appomattox Petersburg Preservation Society on May 19\, 2026. \n\n\n\n\n5 PM: ACWM–Appomattox exhibits will be open free of charge for guided tours led by Appomattox Petersburg Preservation Society staff.\n\n\n\n6:30 PM: Special Program ‘The Presidential Election of 1864‘\n\n\n\n\nThis presentation examines the presidential election of 1864\, a contest held under the extraordinary pressures of civil war and one that would profoundly influence the nation’s future. More than a political contest between Abraham Lincoln and George B. McClellan\, the election became a referendum on war\, peace\, emancipation\, constitutional liberty\, and the meaning of Union itself. Through an analysis of party divisions\, wartime dissent\, civil liberties\, soldier voting\, and the broader political climate of the era\, this program explores how the election shaped the closing phase of the Civil War and the memory of the figures involved. \n\n\n\nThe program is led by Shannah B. Winchester\, history interpreter specializing in Civil War education and public history at Sailor’s Creek Battlefield Historical State Park. She completed certification from Columbia University on the American Civil War. Her current research focuses on the legacy of General George B. McClellan\, and she is writing a book centered on his role and reputation during the events at Harrison’s Landing in 1862.

SUMMARY:The Most Gallant Fight of the War: The Battle of High Bridge
DESCRIPTION:The American Civil War Museum–Appomattox is pleased to host the Appomattox Petersburg Preservation Society for their lecture\, “The Most Gallant Fight of the War: The Battle of High Bridge.” \n\n\n\nThis lecture explores the clash that occurred on April 6\, 1865\, as a Federal expeditionary force attempted to burn the vital Appomattox River crossings during Lee’s retreat toward Farmville. Outnumbered but determined\, the Federal detachment fought fiercely against Confederate cavalry before being overwhelmed in brutal hand-to-hand combat\, leaving nearly the entire Union force killed\, wounded\, or captured. \n\n\n\nCarson Butler directs the American Civil War Museum–Appomattox site. He holds a History degree from Gettysburg College with minors in Civil War–Era Studies and Public History. He has interpreted Civil War history at National Park Service sites including Appomattox Court House National Historical Park\, Vicksburg National Military Park\, and Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania National Military Park. He also worked as a Virginia State Parks Ranger at High Bridge Trail State Park\, highlighting the often-forgotten fighting at High Bridge during the Appomattox Campaign. Additionally\, he is a published author in the Emerging Civil War series and is an active member of the Appomattox Petersburg Preservation Society.

SUMMARY:The Hell-Fired Blues: Virginians in the American Revolution
DESCRIPTION:Join historian John C. Settle as he uncovers the lives and service of Virginia’s Continental soldiers. \n\n\n\nThe American Civil War Museum–Appomattox is pleased to host the Appomattox Petersburg Preservation Society for their lecture\, “The Hell-Fired Blues: Virginians in the American Revolution.” \n\n\n\nFollowing the disastrous defeats at Charleston and Waxhaws\, the Virginia Continental Line had to be reorganized. Despite the challenges of recruiting\, supplying\, and properly officering these new battalions\, Virginia’s Continental soldiers played an important role in the campaigns in the South through the end of the Revolutionary War. Yet despite their service\, they are largely forgotten. Through hundreds of pension applications and letters\, John C. Settle has reconstructed the story of not only the battles and generals\, but the experiences of the officers and men of the Virginia Continental Line as soldiers and veterans. \n\n\n\nJohn C. Settle currently teaches U.S. history and civics in Powhatan County. His research focuses on the military experiences of Virginians during and after the Revolutionary War. His book\, The Virginia Continental Line in the Revolution’s Southern Campaigns\, examines the experiences of Virginia Continental soldiers during the later years of the war. Settle has also published articles for the Fluvanna Historical Society and the Journal of the American Revolution.
