App Description
The Petersburg Battle App® is the perfect Civil War touring partner for your exploration of the Petersburg Campaign battlefields. Our GPS-enabled touring application will guide you to all the historic spots across the entire campaign landscape – from the initial fighting on the Eastern Flank and the Battle of the Crater to the final moments of the campaign at Five Forks and The Breakthrough.
Click on our "virtual signs" to access a wealth of information related to the very spot where you are standing. Onboard historian videos, audio accounts of soldiers from the battle, photos, orders of battle, chronologies, key facts, and more are just a click away.
