ark your calendar for May 17-20, as Landmark Events hosts a brand new tour of Virginia’s beautiful Shenandoah Valley. Historian Bill Potter is in his element among the bountiful historic sites that are just bursting with incredible stories and packed full lessons for us all. You will learn of Jackson and Lee, great men of faith and valor, along with the brave young boys of Virginia Military Institute that were pressed into service at the Battle of New Market and gave rise to the name “Battle of Lost Shoes.” We will tour battlefields, museums, churches and cemeteries, and make new friends along the way.

Hay Wagon Farm Tour with Joel Salatin

We will also take a genuine hay wagon tour with our friend Joel Salatin at his home, Polyface Farm, where he’ll show us how he is transforming agriculture in an area known during the Civil war as “the breadbasket of the Confederacy.” Far more than a simple farmer, Joel is a committed Christian whose keen observations, unique applications and winsome presentation have brought hope and humor to countless people. This is a special opportunity to walk with a truly unique man.

BBQ at Bill Potter’s Home!

What better way to wrap up our tour than a BBQ supper at “The Old Gilham Place” — the classic Victorian home of Bill and Leslie Potter! There will be food, fun and fellowship for all as we recap the tour and set the stage for Saturday’s 153rd Anniversary Battle of New Market Reenactment. If it rains, you will be stuck inside or on the large veranda porch with more than 6,000 books of history, theology, and militaria along with plenty of food and friends!
