When our class visited Pamplin Park eleven years ago, the only building that was open to the public was the Battlefield Center. The picture to the left is one that I took then.There was a museum inside, not yet complete but promising enough that I made a mental note to return in a few years and see the rest. Well, Petersburg was a 3-hour drive from home so I never made it there. Finally our class repeated the trip this spring so I got to visit the park again and was even able to share it with Frank.
Pamplin Park has 422 acres so we didn't get to see it all. I would like to return again to see Tudor Hall and the other historic buildings.
Below is a photo I took this trip of the Battlefield Center from the front, which features a facade that evokes "the zig-zagging Confederate earthworks located a short distance away."
