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.
