A walk-through, interactive "museum on wheels" was unveiled at the 150th anniversary of the First Battle of Manassas in July of 2011 and now it is heading back to Manassas for the commemoration of the Second Battle of Manassas, Aug. 24-26.
The tractor-trailer will be arriving to the Manassas Visitor Center (9431 West St.), at the corner of West and Prince William streets in Old Town, Thursday, Aug. 23, where it will remain for the weekend. Admission to the HistoryMobile is free.
Its arrival and opening to the public will be marked by a reception and remarks event Thursday evening beginning at 5:30 p.m. That will be followed by entertainment by the Army Blues Band at the Harris Pavilion as well as the 1-2-3 Art Exhibit at the Art Beat Gallery, Creative Brush Studio, and the Manassas Art Guild at 7 p.m.
The HistoryMobile exhibit takes the visitor on a journey to the battlefield, homefront and shows the impact of the Civil War on Virginia's people.
