Join us on June 28th and 29th, 2025,  as we step back to 1863 and explore a unique perspective of the American Civil War’s Gettysburg Campaign! In the bloody wake of the Battle of Gettysburg, General Robert E. Lee’s defeated Army of Northern Virginia found itself deep in enemy territory and beyond Southern supply lines. What ensued would become an earnest movement through the Pennsylvania countryside back towards the Mason-Dixson Line as the Confederates were pursued by General George Meade’s Army of the Potomac. Before Lee arrived at the swollen banks of the Potomac at Williamsport, his army first had to pass through the Blue Ridge Mountains as it marched back towards the geographic safety of the Shenandoah Valley. This brought columns of worn and ragged Confederates over Monterey Pass and through Waynesboro… with Union soldiers fresh on their heels.

Join us for a FREE LIVING HISTORY WEEKEND as we explore the perspectives of both sides during the tense aftermath of one of the Civil War’s greatest battles. You’ll learn about the experiences of soldiers emboldened by victory, taken as prisoners of war, and the trials of the residents of Waynesboro as the war came to their doorstep. Living historians will represent General Meade and his command staff, recreate aspects of a Federal Civil War era field hospital, military camp, captured and wounded Confederate soldiers, civilian homesteads impacted by military occupation, a ladies aid society, and much more.

In addition, members of the 19th Century Researchers will be hosting an up-close experience with original items from the American Civil War and mid-19th century. Founders Avery Miller and Wayne Hutzell will have a sampling of their collection on display in the Renfrew Visitor Center Gallery for public viewing. Items will include caps, accouterments, material culture, personal research, and more!

Though this weekend’s event is FREE to the public, donations are highly encouraged to support Renfrew’s expanding programming.
