Museum of Culpeper History |
| Description: |
The Museum of Culpeper History, 803 S. Main St., Culpeper, VA 22701, will open their new exhibit "War Comes to Culpeper" which highlights the events of 1862 including Culpeper's largest battle, the Battle of Cedar Mountain.
Also included will be a special display on Culpeper native and Confederate scout and spy Frank Stringfellow. Highlights of Stringfellows illustrious and colorful military career include spying behind Union lines at the Battle of Cedar Mountain, setting up a line of communication between Confederate sympathizers in the Washington War Department and Richmond which served the Confederacy well though out the war, raiding a Union Picket post in Alexandria, and becoming a master of disguise. Due to his youthful thinness and creativity, he even dressed as a woman and attended a Union ball. He became an Episcopal minister after the war and died at age 73. It is hoped that several of his descendents will be in Culpeper to unveil the new exhibit which will remain in place throughout the Sesquicentennial. |

Bull Run Hunt was established in 1911 and recognized by the MFHA in 1954. We hunt a mixed pack of fine hounds that offer good sport in all kinds of conditions. Our territory varies widely, from flat cropland to rolling pasture land to mountains. Fixtures are located in Culpeper, Madison, Orange, and Spotsylvania counties.
Hounds go out on Mondays, Thursdays, and Saturdays in all kinds of weather. When no one else goes out, please call the monitor as Bull Run is probably hunting. We encourage juniors and guests to join us and experience the thrill of foxhunting with the friendliest and most fun Hunt in Virginia! |
