Description:
The Wilderness Road Regional Museum presents Loyalists in the Backcountry on Sunday, June 5, 2022.

During the American Revolution many local citizens weren't supportive of the Patriot Cause. Some wanted only to be left alone, others actively waged an internal war against the Patriots to support the British.

Join us to learn more about the Loyalists in the New River Valley. Living history group The Fincastle Company will be on site to share this often overlooked part of local history. Also learn about Loyalists activities along Bullock Pen Branch of Peak Creek that occurred right here in the Newbern area.

The Fincastle Company Living History Unit will also be onsite Saturday June 4th during our regular open hours.

Admission is free though donations happily accepted and appreciated..
