Seventy years ago, torrential rains on Shenandoah Mountain put 80 4-H campers at risk, wiped out the community of Stokesville, and left productive farms along the North River in ruins. Some families lost everything they had. Yet, neighbors and communities banded together to help each other.
Many of the families that experienced the flood have passed stories down from one generation to another. These stories are about devastation and loss, but also about acts of heroism and kindness.
This program will feature two speakers, followed by local flood survivors sharing their stories.
Speakers:
When: Wed., Oct. 2 at 7:00 p.m. - 8:30 p.m.
Where: Sangerville Towers Ruritan Hall, 38 Emmanuel Church Rd, Mt Solon, VA 22843
Refreshments will be served.
Free and open to the public.
