Meeting place
The Brandy Station Foundation's Park Day meeting place is at its 1858 Civil War-era Graffiti House in Brandy Station, Virginia. The projects will begin at 9 AM, but late arrivals or early departures are fine; your participation is gratefully appreciated.
Planned Activities
Two activities are planned at the Graffiti House. One is to replace some of the worn boards on walkways by the Graffiti House and across the road leading to the John Pelham monument. The second project is to work on the flower beds around the front of the Graffiti House.
History or Educational Activities
The Brandy Station Foundation operates the Graffiti House which contains Civil War graffiti and a museum. Regular tours of the house are available from Noon-4PM on Park Day. The Graffiti House is a two-story frame structure built in 1858. Soldiers at the Graffiti House drew on the walls using charcoal from the fireplaces. The walls of the house contain inscriptions, drawings, messages, and signatures of both Federal and Confederate soldiers.
Should I bring any tools or supplies?
Work gloves are suggested for all volunteers. For those helping with the walkways, a hammer would be helpful. For those working on the flower beds, gardening tools would be helpful.
Is there a rain date?
In the instance of inclement weather, Park Day will be cancelled.
