The National Park Service Presents
“Prospects of
Peace: A Soldiers Prayer”
December 1st & 2nd
Visitors are invited to join this special program focusing
on Yuletide 1864 when
Harpers Ferry soldiers attempted to create their own version of Christmas on
the battle front while recalling happier ones at home.
With Abraham Lincoln re-elected, the nation was looking forward to a new
year, the conclusion of war, prospects of peace, and freedom for 4 million
enslaved African Americans.
Programs and activities will feature local citizens and soldiers preparing
for the Yuletide, a Civil War style Santa Claus dispersing presents to the
soldiers, a Victorian Cotillion, Yuletide confections, and special guided
walking tours.
