Several pivotal events took place in the last months of the American Civil War. Some of these incidents have left an enduring legacy on the American experience, from the assassination of Abraham Lincoln to the surrender at Appomattox Court House, and the long journey home for soldiers into an uncertain future. We’ll explore these final watershed months of the Civil War and uncover the people, places and stories behind the beginning of the end. This year’s Pamplin Historical Park Symposium, features a prominent cast of speakers, with decades of knowledge and research who will examine “1865: A Year of Reckoning.”
