Woodville Plantation Hosts Wayne’s Fourth Sub-Legion Encampment

Step back in time at Woodville Plantation when this museum presents a special event.  On Sunday, November 4, 2012, meet the soldiers of the Fourth Sub-Legion of the United States, the men who defended John Neville’s Bower Hill home during the 1794 Whiskey Rebellion. Soldiers will drill, fire muskets and discuss general camp life in the U.S. Army in 1794.  Admission on Sunday is $5 per person and it includes a tour of the house.
Woodville Plantation , the home of John and Presley Neville, is Western Pennsylvania’s link to the late 18th century. Built in 1775, this living history museum interprets life during the period of 1780-1820, the Era of the New Republic. Guided tours of the house are available every Sunday from 1 to 4 pm.
