Join PWCA and PWC Historic Preservation Division Manager Rob Orrison for a brief historic overview of the property, current conditions, and a sneak peek preview of some plans for the future Cockpit Point Civil War Park.
This approximate 110 acres of undeveloped land along the Potomac River near Dumfries was proffered to PWC by the developer Sun Cal. It is a hidden treasure that includes a large pond, wetlands, river frontage, and the historically significant Cockpit Point battery, along with Civil War campsites.
At the end of the talk, share your thoughts and possible ideas for how this preserved land can best serve our community.
Rob Orrison has authored three books on the Civil War and American Revolution and also serves as the President of the Virginia Association of Museums. He is the Division Manager for the Prince William County Historic Preservation Division of the Department Parks, Rec and Tourism.
