On Sunday, Aug. 25th at 3pm, please join us at the historical society building (130 Caroline Street) in our Sandra and William H. Speiden auditorium to hear Bill Schwetke, Sons of the American Revolution chapter, provide an informative presentation on the history of the Culpeper Minutemen militia and their role in the Revolutionary War.
In mid-1775, the Culpeper Minutemen militia battalion was created by volunteers from Culpeper, Orange, and Fauquier Counties to fortify the revolutionary task force operating at Great Bridge, VA. The minutemen were under the command of Culpeper's John Green and were attached to the 1st VA Regt (Continental Line) under the command of Patrick Henry.
The program will be live streamed on our Youtube History to Go channel at: https://www.youtube.com/@history-to-go8789/streams
REMINDER: You should be in your seats by 2:55pm as the program begins promptly at 3pm.
