May 22 - The Second Manassas Campaign
Presented by Kevin Pawlak
The Second Manassas Campaign was a pivotal moment for both sides in 1862. Yet, it has largely remained obscured and understudied due to the events of mid-September just several weeks later. Kevin Pawlak will orient visitors to the events of August 1862 and explore some of the many powerful stories from that engagement that still resonate today.
