Two events are happening soon! First, on Saturday, October 8, celebrate the history of Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show on the 100th anniversary of his visit to Winchester. Head out to the beautiful Homestead Farm and Market, 2502 N. Frederick Pike, Winchester, Virginia between 11 AM – 3 PM for a fun day of celebration, history lessons, live music, and an anticipated appearance by “Buffalo Bill” himself. The event will be held, rain or shine! Find more information on Facebook.
Second, on Monday, October 10, head to the Crentz Room in the Cosmos Club, 2121 Massachusetts Avenue NW, Washington, DC between 6:00 PM – 8:30 PM for a free presentation by Calder Loth on “Reconstructing Lost Architecture: A Commendable Tradition.” Reconstruction of a lost historic structure is one of the great taboos of historic preservation. Nevertheless, a widespread popular sentiment holds that natural or man-made disasters should not deprive us of our heritage. Senior Architectural Historian for the Virginia Department of Historic Resources Calder Loth will provide the arguments for rebuilding demolished historic structures, and will offer examples from around the world.
