Big Country residents made their way out to Buffalo Gap Saturday morning for a unique presentation and view into the Civil War.
The Buffalo Gap Historic Village had speaker Dixie Hoover, Site Manager of the Confederate Reunion Grounds State Historic Site near Mexia, visit Buffalo Gap Saturday to talk about The Val Verde Battery, a military unit that served in the front lines during parts of the Civil War. In addition, Hoover discussed the post-war reunion movements that followed. Over a dozen folks attended the presentation, many of which had relatives whom served during the Civil War.
The presentation was all part of their monthly Chautauqua Learning Series at the Buffalo Gap Historic Village.
