The New River Historical Society and the Fine Arts Center of New River Valley are planning a very special dinner event at Rockwood Manor in Dublin on Saturday, April 27th.

It will be a seated theme dinner called “The Rockwood Civil War Dinner” and will feature author Sharyn McCrumb (in character of course) and period music and food. The moon will be full. Costumes will be optional, but characters will be plentiful!

The Sugar Run band will entertain during dinner. After dinner and desert, the party will move to the new pavilion on the grounds of Rockwood Manor for Sharyn McCrumb’s presentation and book signing.

It was published in a new edition by John. F. Blair Publishers in March of 2012
