SECOND BATTLE OF KERNSTOWN COMMEMORATION

JULY 24, 2010

NOON

FREE OF CHARGE

 

A walking battlefield tour with author Scott Patchan

 

The Kernstown Battlefield will be the site of the July 24th commemoration of the Second Battle of Kernstown. On that same date in 1864 Generals Jubal Early and George Crook brought their forces face-to-face on the Pritchard farm. Renowned author and acclaimed expert on the battle, Scott Patchan will lead a walking tour of the property allowing tour members a wonderful opportunity to see and understand exactly what happened on both sides of the battle lines.

 

The hour and a half tour will begin in the Visitor Center at noon on Saturday, July 24th. Guests should be equipped with sturdy walking shoes. There is no charge, although donations to help with battlefield upkeep are welcomed.
