Civil War Tour

The Harpers Ferry Civil War Roundtable will hold a tour of Civil War Winchester at 6 p.m. Wednesday, April 14.

The tour will meet at the pedestrian mall entrance of the Shenandoah Valley Civil War Museum (old Court House) at 20 N. Loudoun St. in Winchester. Note that extra time will be needed to park off site and walk to the meeting place. Guide Jerry Holsworth will lead the tour around Old Town Winchester, with a focus on sites that made the city a crucial part of the Civil War story.

After the walking tour (around 7:30 p.m.), there is an opportunity for a curator-guided tour inside the nearby Stonewall Jackson Headquarters Museum at a charge of $4 per person. This will only be offered if an ample number reserve, so those interested should note their desire for this extra experience when they reserve a space for the walking tour.

This tour will involve walking and standing on flat, paved surfaces. Masks are required, and social distancing will be encouraged. There is no charge for the walking tour, a head count is required and numbers will be limited.
