We have a lot of exciting events coming up in the near future and we look forward in seeing you there.
On April 17, we are sponsoring a program entitled “The Civil War in Burnsville: A Walking Tour.” Join members of the camp at 1:00 pm as we explore downtown Burnsville and its role during the War, including the April 1864 Burnsville Raid.
This spring, members of the Camp will gather to place flags on the graves of Confederate soldiers in the Toe River Valley. North Carolinians have been decorating the graves of Confederate soldiers since 1867, and Confederate Memorial Day is a state holiday.
On May 8, the public is invited to participate in a host of events to commemorate Confederate Memorial day. There will be a public service on the grounds of the Yancey County Court House in the morning, followed by a Find Your Confederate Ancestor program in Bakersville. That evening, there will be a candlelight service at the old Bakersville Cemetery.
On May 29 we are planning to day trip to Knoxville to explore War Between the States sites. More details on this will follow soon.
