Abram's Delight 22 September 2018
This was 22 September 2018, the down pour of rain held off until that night and into the next day. .
. Winchester Frederick County Historical Society invited the Virginia Regiment George Mercer Company to their Annual Meeting 22 September 2018, which featured The Brunswick Stew and an open house of both Abram's Delight built in 1754 and the Cabin which is younger (maybe 1780) and was moved from Cork and Braddock in 1967 to the site of Abram's Delight, perhaps the oldest home in the City of Winchester VA. . . Thank you to Vangie Robinson, Ann Swartz, and Mitzi Bricker for supplying the photos for video by Jim Moyer

Same Video as the very first one above, different music.

We used some Funk just for fun. We enjoy the history, the firing of the musket, the stories of the past, the meeting of others who also are interested. Re-enacting? It is a remote viewing: a distant walking in another's shoes. History is a Foreign Country.
