Spirits Along the Wagon Road returns to Belle Hampton Farm for an afternoon of living history. More than a dozen “spirits” will share stories of the people and events that shaped Southwest Virginia.

Michael Price recounts his unusual injury at the Battle of Cloyd’s Mountain, while World War I hero Elliott Hampton Howe and other figures share their own stories. Dr. Charles Pepper joins the cast with a tale about his possible connection to the famous soft drink.
