Every Second Wednesday of each month from 7 to 9 PM ET

FRGS is hosting an upcoming Business Meeting and Presentation.  FRGS will meet regularly every second Wednesday of each month (except July, August, and December) from 7 to 9 PM ET.  The meeting will be held virtually via Zoom.

For a quarter century, FoWB analysts were trained to speak of the Parker Store Road, which crossed the Ellwood manor grounds immediately in front of the Manor House. The road, a mere cart path, ran generally from the Germanna plank road on the North to the Orange Plank Road on the South. There, it terminated in proximity to what was known as the Parker Store. Members of the CWSG documented this route some years ago and produced a report on the cart path. Vestiges of the cart path remain today, identified by the intrepid trekker.

Why the Parker designation? What was the Parker function in its time? What role did the story play during the pre-Civil War years and then during Mine Run and Wilderness Battles? So many questions, so little time. This presentation will endeavor to answer these and many other questions regarding the Parker VA phenomenon.
