Join us at Prickett’s Fort State Park as the Augusta County Militia explores the life and times of early Appalachian pioneer Joseph Doddridge. They will demonstrate several crafts based on Doddridge’s writings as well as conducting militia operations. A militia muster, inspection, and the dispatching of scouts and spies will be discussed and demonstrated throughout the weekend. This event is on Saturday and Sunday, October 7-8, 2023.
If you’re looking for a place to spend the night consider Tygart Lake State Park for lodge or cabin accommodations.
