Wet Plate Photography at Manassas Battlefield

Don't miss this unique opportunity! A photographer captured the dedication of the Bull Run, or Patriot's, Monument in 1865... now you get a chance to be a part of history 160 years later!



Step back in time and experience the magic of Civil War-era photography with John and Christine Milleker! Witness the creation of Wet Plate Collodion images – a rare opportunity to see firsthand how these stunning, vintage images were crafted over 150 years ago.



In addition to live demonstrations of this intricate process, you can sit for a tintype portrait of yourself or your family for a fee – a timeless heirloom to be cherished for generations.



The photography tent will be located behind the Henry Hill Visitor Center near the Henry House and Bull Run monument.
