Battle of Fredericksburg Sunday, December 15, 11:30AM at the City Dock, 201 Sophia Street, Fredericksburg
|
|
“In the Footsteps of the Irish Brigade”
|
|
Presenter: NPS Historian Frank O’Reilly does a magnificent job narrating the scene using the words of Thomas F. Meagher. The 28th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment and other re-enactors are usually there as well.
|
We try to be there about 15 minutes early. The Meagher Division will present a boxwood wreath at the monument. This is an event appropriate for green jacket…
Limited parking is available at the City Dock, but you’re more likely to find a space in the nearby parking lot associated with the RR station.
|
|
Note: After the ceremony, NPS Ranger O’Reilly leads and narrates a “Remembrance” walk through the streets of Fredericksburg, the route the Irish Brigade used marching to the battle at the Sunken Road.
|
|
If you’re unable to participate in the walk, join several Hibernians at the Colonial Tavern -- Home to the Irish Brigade -- for brunch (or whatever). The Tavern is located on Lafayette (front side of the RR Station) a short walk from the City Dock.
