Kernstown Battlefield

Four KBA Board members worked through the pouring rain this morning and spent about 3 hours trying to clear the walking trail from Rose Hill Park, where the infantry fighting took place during the 1st Battle of Kernstown, to Sandy Ridge. The trail roughly follows the retreat of the Confederates. Pictured from left to right are Chuck Maurer, Bru Randall, and Andy Marrocco. Not pictured is Steve Chesley. They hope to have the trail cleared in the next couple of weeks. Everyone was completely soaked but satisfied.

This past Saturday, the National Park Service gave an excellent presentation on the 1862 Valley Campaign. As you can see, the presentation was moved indoors to the Kernstown Artillery Museum due to rain. In spite of the weather there was a good turnout and everyone enjoyed the presentation.
