October is here, and locally we have a some important Civil War anniversaries coming up: the Battle of Bolivar Heights (Oct 16, 1861) and the Battle of Charles Town (Oct 18, 1863). Our presentation on the Civil War in Jefferson County will be held on October 19, and is a great opportunity to learn a little more about these anniversaries and Civil War locally. You'll get hear more about this history at the place where it happened, the Carriage Inn (formerly the Rutherford House), where Generals Grant and Sheridan met in 1864 to plan the Shenandoah Valley Campaign. Pre-registration is required as space is limited, and tickets are available here: www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticketing/0fbe9aa4-ea6e-4702-86cb-3519406727ea?_gl=1*vr1wz5*_up*MQ..&gclid=Cj...
