DRIVING TOUR: Hidden in Plain Sight – Part Deux

Join the Petersburg Battlefields Foundation (PBF) for this Civil War educational caravan driving tour highlighting unique sites within the Eastern Front of the Petersburg National Battlefield that you may not have noticed before. David Lowe, Phil Shiman, and Julia Steele, who call themselves “The Petersburg Project”, have been researching, studying, revealing, and verifying unique features and sites of the Petersburg Campaign for over 20 years. The Petersburg Project will be utilizing Civil War era photographs, Maps, and other items to give us new insights and perspectives for various sites we will visit within the Eastern Front of Petersburg National Battlefield. The caravan tour will include stops at the tunnel entrance in Colquitt’s Salient, Gracie’s Dam, bombproofs in rear of Fort Haskell, Hoke’s line on June 17th, soldier wells, an icehouse that was between the lines and later a U.S. artillery position, mortar positions, newly identified photos of Fort Morton, and the Covered Way that led to the Crater.
