“Preservation of Williamsburg Battlefield Sites”
The October meeting will be held on the third Tuesday of October (October 21st )** at 7PM in the Williamsburg Regional Library Theatre, 515 Scotland Street. Drew Gruber will present “Preservation of Williamsburg Battlefield Sites”.
As Private Edwin Brown of the 1st Massachusetts Infantry said, “The Battle of Williamsburg has received less importance in history than it has merited.” 152 years later Ed’s quote is more pertinent than ever. Listed as one of Virginia’s ‘Most Endangered Sites’ in 2014 the battle’s continued recognition as one of the most pivotal of the war has been met with continued misinterpretation and subsequent neglect. Drew’s presentation entitled; “Preserving Williamsburg’s Battlefield” will utilize new research and maps to highlight the areas which have been lost to development as well as the opportunities which still exist for preservation and interpretation. Additionally he will discuss the ongoing efforts of the Williamsburg Battlefield Association as well as the battlefield’s value and relevance to our community.
