The Railroads Roar Back, to Rockbridge!! Join RHS’ first FREE public program of 2020 at the historic Manly Memorial Baptist Church, on Sunday, Feb.9. W&L’s Byron Faidley will share a slideshow presentation, “Rockbridge Rails,” that examines the growth and decline of local railroads since their arrival here 150 years ago.
Historic photographs, maps, and anecdotes will offer new perspectives on their influence on our county’s economy, culture, and connections to other parts of the Valley and Virginia. Family-friendly, for train-lovers and historians of all ages!
