Siege Life

For 292 days, the soldiers of both sides lived, worked, and fought in around the trenches of Petersburg. Meanwhile, across the battlefield, civilians struggled amidst the chaos of war. Join a Park Ranger for a 20-30 minute program to learn more about who these people were and how they experienced day-to-day life at Petersburg. 

Meet the Park Ranger for this free program at the Eastern Front Visitor Center, outside along the sidewalk. 

Program is subject to cancellation due to weather or other issues.
