Again, this year the roar of musket fire will echo thru Hinkle Gap as re-enactors depict the first invasion of Federal troops into Pendleton County, March 2, 1862.
On March 4, at the Clinton Hedrick Community Building, Riverton, WV, the Order of the Bonnie Blue Phoebe Warner Chapter, together with other local organizations will host a program before the battle re-enactment. There will be a question and answer session on the Civil War in Pendleton County. After the program, everyone is invited to the actual battle site for the re-enactment.
The battle site is one-half mile from Riverton on the road to Seneca Caverns. Anyone having Civil War era letters, artifacts, photos, stories, etc. and would like to share them are most welcome to do so.
If interested in being a part of the program or re-enactment please call or email us.
