Virginia Piedmont Heritage Area

WE LIKE THIS POST! Our staff was out in White Post (#Clarke County) today. The town gets its name from the large white post which marked the road to the #Shenandoah home of Thomas Fairfax, 6th Lord Fairfax. Supposedly the post was erected by none other than George Washington.

Our staff was out today planning for our hike along the #Shenandoah River at North Hill. We'll be talking about topics ranging from Native American culture, #CivilWar battles, and Honky Tonks of the 1930s! Tickets can be bought from our website: piedmontheritage.org/events/northhi…

#CivilWar #history surrounds us in Northern Virginia. On Monday our staff was in historic Waterford, talking with the @CivilWarTimes about our local #veterans. If you're passing a historic cemetery, it's always worth exploring!

We can't wait!

The #historians take a trip to the historic village of #Upperville to retell stories from the area's fascinating past. Special guest appearance by historian @HistoryHerring! Register here: piedmontheritage.org/events/hotmay2… #History #Virginia #Piedmont
