150th Anniversary of Blackburn's Ford Commemorated at Bull Run
Ceremony included a 21 gun salute for killed or wounded in battle at Blackburn's Ford and a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new winter quarters at Bull Run.
Despite the almost 100 degrees temperature and humidity, the Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority commemorated the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Blackburn’s Ford, not far from the original site, at Bull Run Regional Park in Centreville.
To commemorate the battle, NVRPA featured a 21 gun salute to those killed or wounded in the battle, along with a living history camp, comments from Fairfax County Board of Supervisors Chair Sharon Bulova, and historian Mark Trbovich. There was also a dedication of the recently constructed winter quarters and a camp life exhibit built at Bull Run Regional Park.
