A Cradle for Democracy: A Winter Lecture Performance

Many of the events that led to the American Revolution happened in Virginia 's House of Burgesses with firebrands like Patrick Henry and the Cabells who were outspoken Patriots. One of the most enjoyable ways to understand and appreciate this colorful tapestry of the most influential chapters of American history is by recreating the “passion” of those days with actors on stage. The Wintergreen Nature Foundation and the Historical Society of Nelson County invite you Nelson County High School for three performances this winter.
