The Culpeper Minutemen in the Revolutionary War

August 25 @ 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm

Join us in our Sandra and William H. Speiden auditorium to hear Bill Schwetke, Sons of the American Revolution, provide an informative presentation on the history of the Culpeper Minutemen militia and their role in the Revolutionary War.

In mid-1775, the Culpeper Minutemen militia was created by volunteers from Culpeper, Orange, and Fauquier Counties to fortify the revolutionary task force operating at Great Bridge, VA. The minutemen were under the command of Culpeper’s John Green and were attached to the 1st VA Regt (Continental Line) under the command of Patrick Henry.

The program will also be live streamed on our Youtube History to Go channel at: https://www.youtube.com/@history-to-go8789/streams
