These Walls are Talking⦠- Friends of Frying Pan Farm Park
Frying pan farm park presents These Walls are Talking… Come Hear Their Civil War Stories I was always a Union man tooth and nail, though I was not a citizen and had no vote ….William Terrill Bradby Most Americans have at one point in time heard the story of Pocahontas and John Smith, but very few have learned the rich history of Virginia’s Indian communities beyond the colonial period. Pulling from their intimate knowledge of the riverine landscape, Pamunkey men served as pilots and scouts on Union gunboats that traversed Virginia waterways. Pamunkey women held ground on the reservation, working to aid Union soldiers who encamped near the community throughout the war. We invite you to listen to Pamunkey and Civil War reenactors, view hands-on exhibits, and watch these stories come to life!
