In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
The encampment at Fort Collier, located at 922 Martinsburg Pike in Winchester, will feature simulated skirmishes, where attendees can witness firsthand the tactics and sounds of Civil War battles. Demonstrations of weaponry used during the era will also be a highlight, providing a visceral understanding of the military technology of the 19th century. Visitors will have the chance to embark on guided battlefield tours, gaining insight into the historical significance of the site and the events that unfolded there.
In addition to the live reenactments, the Fort Collier Civil War Center will be showcasing newly discovered artifacts within the Stine Farmhouse Museum. These artifacts offer a tangible connection to the past, providing a glimpse into the lives of those who lived during the Civil War period. The event aims to provide an immersive and educational experience for all ages, fostering a deeper appreciation for local and national history. Parking at the fort will be free of charge, and refreshments will be available for purchase throughout the weekend. Further information can be obtained by visiting the Fort Collier website at http://www.fortcollier.com or by checking Fort Collier’s Facebook page.
