UPCOMING EVENTS
"A Scottish Evening at the Battlefield"

A preservation fundraising event to benefit 
the Kernstown Battlefield Association (KBA)
September 14, 2024, 6:00pm – 7:30pm

      Join us on the lawn at the battlefield to celebrate the Scottish heritage of the original settlers of this hallowed ground we now call The Kernstown Battlefield. 

     The Winchester Pipes & Drums will march and perform on the blacktop apron in front of the Artillery Building while guests relax in their own lawn chairs on the grass. The performers will break in mid-program to mingle with guests and answer their questions.
     A complimentary glass of wine or beer will be provided by our neighbor from the Kernstown Commons, The Crush Wine Bar. Additional beverages may be purchased.
     Come early to tour the antebellum Pritchard House, browse our museum or walk the trails on the battlefield.
     The KBA is an all-volunteer 501(c)3 non-profit corporation. Your contribution is tax deductible and 100% will go toward preservation, maintenance and interpretation of this hallowed ground. 

Cost per person: $48
