You are invited to join Rick for an onsite presentation of Albemarle County’s only Civil War combat—Rio Hill. It was February 29, 1864, when Union Brig. Gen. George A. Custer rode into Albemarle County at the head of 1,500 horsemen. What was his purpose? How did it all fall out? Join us to find out!
