Conflict-without, Conflict-within: The Thomas Ingles Story

Step back in time with us for an unforgettable presentation of living history!

Join us for a History Alive! performance featuring Thomas Ingles, a man who lived a life divided between two cultures—raised for years by the Shawnee after being captured as a child, then returned to the Virginia frontier to rejoin colonial society.

Through this first-person portrayal, you’ll experience the dramatic story of survival, identity, and the lifelong tension between two very different worlds.

Presented in partnership with the West Virginia Humanities Council, this performance brings history to life and offers a deep look into early American frontier life and the cultural complexities of the time.

👉 All ages welcome
👉 Perfect for history buffs, families, and educators
