January 19, 2019 at 2pm—Boyd’s Hole Revisited. Boyd’s Hole has been home to history from colonial times through the Civil War. Discover more about the port, spy camp, and inspection station through the people who frequented this area.
February 23, 2019 at 2pm—The Life of the Enslaved. Through this living history presentation, guest first-person interpreter, Shemika Berry, will share what life was like for those who were enslaved residing here at Caledon.
March 30, 2019 at 2pm—Indigenous Culture. Native Americans greatly impacted the history of Caledon State Park and King George County. Join us as we learn about tools, skills, and the ways of life for indigenous peoples of this area.
April 27, 2019 at 2pm—The Steamboat Era. Before highways and cars, the easiest way to travel was often the waterways. The Potomac River was a major thoroughfare for transportation of goods and people and still is today. Caledon State Park is home to an old wharf that was part of the steamboat route on the Potomac. Join rangers as we learn more about life during the age of the steamboat.
