Event Details

Fellow Citizens the call has been made to form up the militia. Lord Dunmore has seized the gunpowder from the Williamsburg Magazine and Patrick Henry has made the call to assemble the Militia and march on the capitol. Will you remain loyal to the king or join the ranks of the rebels? Join us as we peer into the origins of the Virginia Bill of Rights and explore our shared colonial history.

Part of the 250th Anniversary of Dunmore’s Virginia Campaign, Virginia Revolutionary War Trails

Hosted by the York County 250th Anniversary Committee on behalf of VA250
