The Crossing of the Dan, a nearly forgotten episode of the American Revolution that occurred at South Boston, Virginia, in 1781, received recognition in September 2013 by the National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution as a major historic event.  This action has catapulted what was previously a local commemoration to a national event.

The Dan River Chapter, Virginia Society Sons of the American Revolution, Berryman Green Chapter, Virginia Daughters of the American Revolution, Halifax County Historical Society, and the Town of South Boston are hosting the 239^th Anniversary Commemoration of the Crossing of the Dan in historic downtown South Boston, Virginia.  The commemorative events are scheduled for February 15, 2020. 

Centered around The Prizery, where the Crossing of the Dan Exhibit is open to the public. Saturday’s program on February 15^th will feature music and songs from the period of the American Revolution by David Russell, wreath presentation ceremony, an encampment on the Dan River, and a re-enactment of The Crossing, weather permitting.

The 245th Anniversary

of the Bermuda Gunpowder Plot

May 13th-18th 2020

In the summer of 1775, the American Colonies are in revolt and the British have responded to the growing crisis in the colonies with a blockade of American ports. The blockade hurt Bermuda as the islands already had a shortage of food, putting the islanders at risk of starvation. Bermudians were divided and while most of the island’s population remained loyal the English Crown, there were many who sympathized with the Continental Congress and its fight for independence.
