Learn from the Fincastle Company, who is a group of dedicated living historians who portray both military and civilian roles during the time of the American War of Independence. They conduct extensive research and documentation on all the clothing and equipment used by them in order to be as accurate to the period as possible. The group performs living history displays at various historical sites in the mid-Atlantic region. They specifically portray the Fincastle/Montgomery County Militia which was an actual unit from Southwestern Virginia that served in the American Revolution.
Other family fun activities at this event include:
• Washable chalk drawing at the Pavilion

Tickets can be purchased at the gate the day of the event. The cost is $5.00 per person and children ages 3 & under are free.
