Hey guys,
Is anyone planning on attending this event in Richmond this coming weekend? I have never been before, although last year's event (then called, 'Civil War Days') apparently brought about 2,000 visitors to local historic sites.
Link to the event website: http://civilwar.emancipationday.net/
Many of the city's local destinations will be free of charge and there are shuttles running from the NPS Tredegar Iron Works parking lot throughout the day. I am pretty sure this is the only annual event that Richmond Battlefield Park - NPS does within the city involving military demonstrations.
On a side note, I am organizing a small program and heading a group portraying local militia and volunteers mustering in the city following the capture of Fort Sumter, S.C. I have all the details if you are in the Richmond-Tri-cities area and are interested. Send me a PM.
(I tried listing a more formal thread in the Events Folder but nothing has been posted yet. -Mods, I leave this second attempt at your disposal.)
Regards,
PS: Also an excellent opportunity to drag your wife/ date along to a historic site, then please her by seeing the Picasso exhibit at the VMFA. The only time it will be shown on the East Coast!
