Exciting developments: The Stine family grave site identified, artifacts located, civil war art on display, a book give away and more!
On Saturday, Sept. 21, Jonathan Noyalas, Director, Shenandoah University's McCormick Civil War Institute (MCWI) will lead an approximately one-hour walking tour at Fort Collier exploring the site’s role during the Civil War and the Third Battle of Winchester. The tour will begin at 9:30 a.m. Additionally, MCWI’s traveling exhibition of the Civil War art of Paul Salmon will be on display in the Stine House.
The Stine family grave site was recently identified, and markers were put in place. Artifacts were also located in several boxes at the property! There are many interesting items--including a prewar US navy button. There's no way to prove it but one wonders if it didn't come off Lt. Collier's coat--his prewar military service was in the US Navy. A selection of items will be displayed at the 160th anniversary event. We will also have a few copies of Jonathan’s latest book, “The Blood-Tinted Waters of the Shenandoah: The 1864 Valley Campaign’s Battle of Cool Spring, July 17-18, 1864” available to give away.
This event is free and open to the public; no pre-registration is required.
