Civil War Emancipation Day Celebration April 14, 2012

From discussions with leading Civil War Scholars to guided tours of historic Richmond sites, cannon firings to children's games, song and dance performances to canal boat rides, the newly expanded Civil War & Emancipation Day has something for everyone.

Admission to most sites and performances is free. Reservations and fees apply to the Civil War Sampler Bus Tour, special exhibits at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, and the Richmond Adventure Race.

Historic Tredegar, Lumpkin's Jail Site at Main Street Station, and the Boulevard Campus will serve as anchor sites for patrons who want to “park and ride” and enjoy free shuttle transportation throughout the day.
