Lee-Jackson Day 2026

[Viper21]

The annual Lee-Jackson Day events will kick off January 16th & 17th. The Stonewall Brigade SCV Camp will mark this years event as our 27th annual celebration in Lexington. This will surely be another great event this year. I look forward to seeing some of y'all again this year...! If you've never been, or experienced this event, you should at least once.

Friday's symposium will feature Dennis Frye, Amanda Low Warren, & Bill Potter. There will be refreshments, & vendors on display from 12:30 to 5pm. On Saturday we will gather at Jackson's grave site for our annual service, followed by the parade through downtown Lexington. Our keynote speaker on Saturday is Gib Kerr, followed by a catered luncheon.

After the luncheon on Saturday, there will be a brick laying ceremony at Lee Jackson Park. For those of who have been to the park, you'll quickly notice we've been busy..!

See you soon..!

I just signed up. Looking forward to the weekend.

I sure wish I could make the trip and attend. I've got some family history in Lexington (my relative and her husband knew Stonewall and attended the same church; they're buried not too far from Jackson). I hope it'll be well attended. I'll be there in spirit.

Have not had the honor of hearing the others, but Amanda Low Warren is a great speaker and has done some truly original scholarship.

You don't have to have an account, or "do" Facebook to watch from the link that gjpratt shared. That's a publicly viewable page (even without an account). So you can watch the events from that link, if you want to.

All three presentations on friday will be live streamed.
The service at the cemetery, and the keynote presentation will be live streamed on Saturday.

While not professional grade streaming, it's decent from folks I know that have watched previously.

Well, learn something new every day.

I'll definitely tune in.

Don't forget to visit VMI's museum.

Lexington has one of the prettiest Post Offices I've ever used.

Would love to go to something like this. I go to virginia several times, but the timing is off for this. Particularly since I just heard of it and also because I was just in Virginia during late dec.

i know @gjpratt signed up for it and was supposed to attend. I have an idea who the others might be.

 

[gjpratt]

The "Usual Suspects" were indeed there. Regrettably minus you, PJ. One of them won a 12 pound Confederate solid shot recovered at Front Royal from the raffle.

Working on a post.
