Our Tour in front of the Rev. John Strachan House
If you missed our annual field trip, you missed a good one. Bill Welsch
organized a terrific tour to many sites in Chesterfield County related
to the Bermuda Hundred campaign. Some of the sites we saw have only
recently been saved, largely thru the good work of our tour guide,
George Fickett. Even if you missed the guided tour, you should still
check out these sites using George's guide book, available thru the
Chesterfield County Historical Society. These sites are well worth
investigating, although you may want to do it in cooler weather as many
are deep in the woods.
Speaking of preserving sites, check out the Civil War Trust's web site
for their newest campaign to save more land at the North Anna
battlefield. This is a site in our immediate area which also merits a
visitation-and a donation to save more of it.
