Tourism Tuesday: Luray Caverns

16 June 2020

We pre-recorded today’s conversation via Zoom for Tourism Tuesday – Luray/Page County edition. Gina Hilliard, President of Luray/Page Chamber of Commerce joined me on the screen with her guest Bill Huffman from Luray Caverns.

We talked about the attraction and all the activities offered on their property. Bill told me about the history of the caverns and the safety precautions they’ve put in place since re-opening on June 5. You can get more detail about Luray Caverns on their website: https://luraycaverns.com/

Gina gave us a quick rundown of some upcoming Coffee & Conversations with local restaurants and retails shops. You can find the details for those on their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/luraypagecountychamber/

The River 95.3

Lonnie's Fun Fact for Monday April 19, 2021. According to History dot com, on this date in 1775, at about 5 a.m., 700 British troops, on a mission to capture Patriot leaders and seize a Patriot arsenal, march into Lexington to find 77 armed minutemen under Captain John Parker waiting for them on the town’s common green. British Major John Pitcairn ordered the outnumbered Patriots to disperse, and after a moment’s hesitation the Americans began to drift off the green. Suddenly, a shot was fired from an undetermined gun, and a cloud of musket smoke soon covered the green. When the brief Battle of Lexington ended, eight Americans lay dead or dying and 10 others were wounded. Only one British soldier was injured, but the American Revolution had begun. The battles of Lexington and, later, Concord were the first battles of the American Revolution, a conflict that would escalate from a colonial uprising into a world war that, seven years later, would give birth to the independent United States of America.
