Christmas During War Time at Historic Rippon Lodge
What would have the holidays been during times of crisis and war? The 2024 edition of "Holidays Through the Ages" at Rippon Lodge Historic Site investigates how peace and joy are found in trying moments in history. Exploring the evolution of Christmas itself in America, the conflict of participating or breaking from traditions that are no longer one’s own, and creating joy during wartime are just some of the topics we explore.

      Hello! To the best of my knowledge there are none other than the 1937 USGS aerials available. If you're interested in details of what the area around the track looked like, the best suggestion I can make is the ICC Valuation Maps for the Southern Railway, available through the National Archives. Manassas is shown as part of Valuation Section 2e (former Orange & Alexandria) and Valuation Section 14 (former Manassas Gap)

It's a shame that he mortally wounded on July 2nd 1863 on the second day of battle. It's amazing how he made until August before passing away. Rest in Peace. 😢

      It has been estimated that over 60 million bison roamed North America when Columbus landed in 1492. In the early 1700s, Virginia had more American bison than any other Atlantic state! Much like the decline of bison in the west, overhunting led to the decline of the buffalo along the east coast.

    Not to forget the first civilian casualty, 85 yr.old grandma Judith Henry, whose feet were blown away along with the wall of her house by a cannonball when USA Capt.Ricketts' artillery moved atop Henry hill from the west, turned and took out the CSA snipers in the Henry house to their left on Henry hill, scene of the midday artillery battle against Stonewall Jackson's artillery on the eastern slope. Judith's granddaughter Ellen and their slave Lucy hid inside the chimney during the unceasing barrage, and Ellen remained deaf for the rest of her life.

    Pretty amazing that Eppa Barnes bought the house from the family that owned him. That had to be a proud day. I've been there before but haven't had the opportunity to tour it yet. I now know where I've seen the building before it was moved. Thank you for showing that. Really great they were able to restore it. Is the Lomond Caretaker's house open for viewing or is it just offices? I grew up down the street from Lomond starting back in 1970 (before they moved the slave quarters) and have always been interested in seeing inside of those structures. The caretaker's houses is the only one I haven't seen inside.
