Commemoration of the Battle of Blackburn’s Ford

Carolyn Lawson Low, Neighbor

Monday July 18th is the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Blackburn's Ford and the Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority is hosting a commemoration event that evening at 7:00 P.M.  This event will include living history re-enactors firing 21 gun salutes, remarks from a local historian, and others, and the dedication of replica winter quarters recently built at Bull Run Regional Park to help interpret this area during the Civil War.
