Civil War 150th Anniversary (freelance assignment)
Saturday, November 20
Tom Rothenberg in Free Lance-Star, events

The Fredericksburg area kicked off some major events that marked the 150th anniversary of the Civil War.  The first of the day was a tour of the Brompton House grounds.  Tours were led by National Park Rangers explaining the importance the land and former home of John Lawrence Marye during the conflict.

The second event of the day took me to Fredericksburg Baptist Church, where authors and historians lectured on the Secession and the Confederate Revolution.
