Join us on Saturday, January 31 at 1:00 PM at the Alexander Black House for an engaging afternoon of history and music. Musician and historian Geoff White will perform songs written and played during the American Civil War, sharing their stories and historical significance along the way.
Geoff, a versatile performer on fiddle, mandolin, and guitar, has played everywhere from concert halls to historic battlefields. With a background in both music and history—including a degree focused on Civil War music—he brings a unique perspective to this program.
This event is presented by Historic Smithfield, the Virginia Center for Civil War Studies, and the Blacksburg Museum & Cultural Foundation.
