Printer Friendly View
A Civil War-themed day camp was held Saturday at the Tompkins Cottage in Mathews Court House. Sponsored by the Mathews County Civil War Sesquicentennial Committee and the Mathews Historical Society, the four hour program included a scavenger hunt, hands-on activities, a horse and wagon ride around historic court green with Vernon Ashberry, and talks by Walter Scott Hunley and Bill Brockner. About a dozen children took part in the fun, including, from left, Jasmine Marcellus, Henry Barnett and Spencer Baird, led here by a period-clothed Marilyn Iglesisas, vice president of the Capt. Sally Tompkins Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy. Photo by Bill Nachman.
