The Mosby Heritage Area Association announces its December 13, Legends by Lanternlight walking tour of historic Middleburg, VA.

Join the Mosby Heritage Area on an evening lantern-lit walking tour of Middleburg. Previously known as Chinn's Crossroads, Powelltown, and Middleburgh, for much of its history Middleburg enjoyed the distinction of being Loudoun County's second largest town. This December 13, attendees will learn about the booming Middleburg population in the 1840's and 50's through its church communities. Costumed interpreters will share stories of the town's founding families, and the role of Middleburg's churches during difficult times in history. The tour will begin with a rare peek into Asbury Methodist Church (c. 1829), progress to Sharon Cemetery outside of the Middleburg Baptist Church (Previously a 'Free Church' shared by different denominations, c. 1836), and will conclude at Emmanuel Episcopal (c. 1843) with a traditional carol and informal reception.

This event will be outside rain or shine, so please dress appropriately for the weather. The program also involves walking, so comfortable shoes are a must! Tickets are $15 for adults and $8 for students, and can be purchased at the door or by clicking below
