Join a ranger for a powerful look at the youngest soldiers of the Union Army. This program highlights the teenage soldiers, drummer boys, and enlisted youth who lived, marched, and fought during the Civil War. Explore how their age shaped their experiences, their understanding of war, and the identity of the Union Army itself. Their stories add a deeply human perspective to the conflict that unfolded here in 1865.
Program will be held in the Visitor’s Center, rain or shine. For questions or more information please contact Gracie Swartout at Gracie.Swartout@dcr.virginia.gov.
