PBF VISION:  To inspire and educate the public about the Petersburg Campaign of the Civil War, other local military battlefields and campaigns, and commemorations that shape the Petersburg region and contribute to the American story.

PBF MISSION:  Leading a regional initiative to preserve, interpret, and promote the Campaign's diverse cultural, historic, and natural resources in order to place them within the broader historical context connecting events and places, thus enabling current and future generations to better understand the relationships between military conflict and important social and political changes occurring in American history.
