14th Annual Spirit Walk October 24, 25, and 26 (2008) |
The Spirit Walk is a guided history tour of historic Old Charlottesville, including popular haunts such as the County Courthouse and the Maplewood Cemetery. The fundraiser supports the work of the Society, and has a cast of around 50 local actors and musicians, many of whom also perform regularly in local theatre companies.
The actors portray actual historical characters from Charlottesville, Albemarle County and environs, ranging from the early 18th Century to the mid-20th Century.
