Preservation Efforts
Since its inception in 2022, the Appomattox-Petersburg Preservation Society has sought to preserve vestiges of our nation's past for future generations to come. These efforts include:
-
Truely Vaughan House
Union field hospital following the Battles of Sailor's Creek where original wartime graffiti was discovered.
-
Appomattox Station Battlefield
Stewardship of one of the more oft-overlooked battlefields of the Appomattox Campaign.
-
Cumberland Church Battlefield
Site of the last victory of the Army of Northern Virginia on April 7, 1865, just days before the fateful surrender.
