Battle of Cedar Creek talk
Sunday, Oct. 20, 2 p.m.
On Oct. 19, 1864, a surprise attack by Confederate troops in the Shenandoah Valley at Cedar Creek appeared to be a solid victory for the South. Thanks to the heroic efforts of the Vermont’s 8th Regiment, the Union reclaimed the battlefield. In a talk entitled Vermont and the Battle of Cedar Creek at the Ethan Allen Homestead Museum, Mike Soules will describe the role of Vermonters in the battle, the consequences of the battle, as well as the significance of the Cedar Creek Room in our state capitol.
