Nash Farm Battlefield

A HUGE THANK YOU for attending the Nash Farm Jubilee!  We had a GREAT day of canons firing, soldiers marching, and civil war re-enacting.  One student even found out that his father's cousin was the organzier of the entire re-enactment!  Another student came to the re-enactment on Saturday AND Sunday . . . what dedication!  Please enjoy the pictures!
