CWRTF Meeting: Forgotten Friday: The April 7, 1865 Actions in Cumberland County, VA
Start Time: 5:45 PM
End Time: 8:30 PM
Venue: UMW Jepson Alumni Executive Center
Contact: Elizabeth Daly
Guest: Patrick Schroeder

Historians often overlook the multiple engagements that occurred in Cumberland County near Sailor’s Creek (April 6) and at Appomattox (April 9). These battles resulted in the death, wounding, or capture of three generals, the near capture of General Robert E. Lee, and a “Lee to the rear” incident. The battles near Cumberland Church were both fascinating and horrific, resulting in hundreds of casualties. Join Patrick Schroeder, Historian of Appomattox Court House National Historical Park, to discover more about these often-forgotten events.

Online orders for this event will open on Monday, May 19, 2025.
