The Hart Farm
This extension of The Breakthrough Trail leads to the historic Hart House, a ten minute walk from here. The trail parallels the Confederate earthworks that extended across the Boisseau farm (Tudor Hall) to the neighboring Hart farm to the southwest. Pamplin Historical Park has restored the Hart House exterior to its appearance in 1865. Exhibits at the house describe the fighting that occurred there during the Battle of Peebles’ Farm on October 2, 1864 and during the Breakthrough of April 2, 1865. The terrain is fairly level and the trail is maintained for easy walking. The trail crosses a major local terrain feature, Arthur’s Swamp. Please help us protect the earthworks and other historic resources along the trail by remaining on the prepared path.
