Celebrate Auburn: A commemoration of the 145th Anniversary of the Battle of Coffee Hill at Auburn.
Join The Piedmont Environmental Council for an afternoon celebration of the history of Auburn and the Battle of Coffee Hill, considered one of the most significant battles in Fauquier County. Sit on historic Weston’s lawn and learn more about Fauquier County’s place in the Civil War and the daring tactics of Major General J.E.B. Stuart’s calvary during their harrowing two days in Auburn. Activities will include a Civil War encampment, talks by local experts on the Battle of Auburn and Fauquier’s role in the Civil War, period games for children, period musicians, displays of local Civil War artifacts, and a calvary demonstration. Justin LaMountain of Greenman Forestry Management will also demonstrate horse-logging from 3-4pm. Come learn about this progressive brand of forest management and watch horse logging in action.
Admission is free and food will be available for purchase, or feel free to bring your own picnic and eat on Weston’s beautiful lawn.
