Description:
The Wilderness Road Regional Museum presents the Annual Loyalists in the Backcountry Event on Sunday, June 15, 2025.

Join us for the Annual Loyalists in the Backcountry Event and learn about both the Patriots and Loyalists in the Backcountry of Southwest Virginia during the Revolutionary War. There will be some mischief afoot. This is an educational yet fun event to share the harsh reality of split loyalties in the "rascally" region during the American Revolution.

Living history will be presented by the Fincastle Company. Members of the Fincastle Company Living History group will share the history of the complicated interactions of the Patriots, "rascally" Loyalists, Tories, and those trying to stay "unaffected" during the American Revolution.

The event is free, but donations are always welcome and appreciated.

The Wilderness Road Regional Museum is located at 5420 Wilderness Road in Newbern, VA.
