visit a national park for free
Published Jul. 5, 2009Views: 505
A few weeks ago our family decided to include a visit to Appomattox Court House National Park in our vacation plans.
We had a pleasant surprise when we pulled into the national park -- our visit would be free!
For those of you who are interested in taking advantage of skipping the admission cost, two more "fee-free" weekends are coming up. On July 18-19 and August 15-16, 100 national parks will allow visitors in for free.

We had a Union re-enactor discuss the surrender for an hour. I would have loved to hear the Confederate re-enactor, but getting my family to sit for an hour was a blessing itself! LOL!
We're planning on visiting National Park in Greensboro soon. :-)

We have an organization in Snow Camp that puts on two productions "The Sword of Peace" and "Pathway to Freedom." I'm a short drive away, but for some reason have never gone. I need to add that to my "to-do" list. :-)
What's the Halifax drama about?

(Mr. Williams was my high school history teacher)
"First for Freedom" is one of the longest running outdoor dramas presented in North Carolina. The drama, written by Halifax County playwright Maxville B. Williams, depicts the events that led to the adoption of the Halifax Resolves, the first official declaration of independence from England by any colony, on April 12, 1776. For ticket information, please call the Halifax County CVB at (252) 535-1687 or (800) 522-4282

I did a quick Google search, but it said that July 3 was the last show.
I think that I will ask my husband to take me to the Snow Camp drama for my birthday. (Entertainment and history all rolled up into one--Yay!)
