Rich History, Modern Charm

Each day will have one significant event to explore the history, topography, and beauty of the area. 
 

• Guided visit of the Manassas Battlefield - Site of two significant Civil War battles. This is where General Thomas Jackson earned his famous moniker - Stonewall!

• Dive into the history of Culpeper which was first surveyed by 18-year-old George Washington in 1750.  Enjoy a historic walking tour, visits to some of the local battlefields (Cedar Mountain, Brandy Station – the largest cavalry battle in the Western Hemisphere, and Kelly’s Ford). Enjoy a walk through Yowell-Meadow Park and learn about the Culpeper Minutemen’s strategic role in the Revolutionary War.

Ed Diaz will lead daily Bible studies. He will speak on "Sustenance from the Psalms. How to survive both good days and bad days."
