     6:30   AM     You will have a voucher for a  full hot breakfast at the hotel included in the tour.
     9:30   AM     We will start the day at the Blandford Chruch. This was built circa 1735 for the Anglican
                           Colonists of Bristol Parish, this lovely but unassuming parish church sits quietly within the
                           old brick wall. Thomas Jefferson’s father Peter was among the Burgesses who founded Bristol
                           Parish in 1644. It is rich in our local and national history. Today, thanks to a group of dedicated
                           ladies, who in 1901 faced the dawning of a new century haunted by loss, Blandford Church is a
                           Confederate Memorial Chapel. Within the chapel are 15 Louis Comfort Tiffany windows
                           honoring Confederate soldiers. This is one of only six churches in the entire nation in which
                           every window is the work of the world renowned Louis Comfort Tiffany.
 
                          Blandford Cemetery is an extraordinary site where you can feel, hear and see the story of the
                          evolution of this city, its culture and people. The earliest legible headstones and monuments
                          reveal the changes in attitude to death and mourning in the 18th and 19th centuries. Within its
                          three hundred acres are buried industrial giants, a British General three Confederate Generals
                         and 30,000 of their men, a governor or two, past presidents of Virginia State University, merchants,
                          bankers, heroes and the everyday citizens who make up the very fabric of this city’s history.
   12:00   PM     Now we will head back to Old Towne for another opportunity to browse the shops and have lunch
                          on your own.  Perhaps you will revisit yesterday’s favorites or discover new ones.
     2:00   PM     We will meet at the Farmers market for the drive to the Petersburg Battlefield. During the Civil
                          War more than 2,000 military events were recorded in Virginia, more than any other state. Here
                          at the Petersburg Battlefield, the National Park Service Rangers will help you understand the
                          magnitude of the local military events. Our driving tour will include stops at the Visitor Center &
                          the site of the Battle of the Crater.
