There are so many advantages to living in a historic town and area. Get to know it better. When you are the winning bidder in Poolesville Seniors’ upcoming Heart ‘n Soul online auction fundraiser, take your family and friends on one or all of these narrated tours. Here is what we have for you.
Love ghost stories? Want to know where the haunted houses are in town? A GHOST TOUR with Christine Rai is the item for you. Christine knows where the bodies are buried!
Looking for something a bit more serene? How does a NARRATED WALK ALONG THE C&O CANAL sound? Jon Wolz is one of the most knowledgeable folks around and can point out areas of interest, hidden gems, and Civil War stories that will amaze and delight you.
If you have enjoyed our monthly Zoom presentations of properties of the Agricultural Reserve by Kenny Sholes, this item is a must have for you. Kenny will be providing a SPRING WALKING TOUR OF THE POOLESVILLE HISTORIC DISTRICT for you and a group of your friends. You will learn the history of the homes and buildings in our historic town.
If your interests are specific to the historic communities settled by formerly enslaved families, we have two wonderful tours to offer. The Sugarland Community has long been of interest to local historians. We invite you to join representatives of the Sugarland Ethno-History Project for a NARRATED TOUR OF HISTORIC SUGARLAND. On your way to White’s Ferry and the river landing, I am sure many of you have passed through Martinsburg. If you want to learn more about this historic Black community, Pastor Chuck Copeland will provide a TOUR OF HISTORIC MARTINSBURG for you and your small group. You will see the site of the historic church and community center as well as many other points of interest.
These items and more are available for bid in the upcoming Poolesville Seniors Heart ‘n Soul Online Auction Fundraiser. Be sure to check it out! There really is something for everyone!
