Voices of Revolution: Nelson County’s Hidden Heroes of 1776
This year marks the 250th anniversary of the start of the Revolutionary War. In recognition of this historic milestone, the Nelson County Historical Society is launching a podcast series to honor the service and struggles of men and women from our region during this pivotal era. While Nelson County would not be separated from Amherst County until 1807, we’ve uncovered compelling stories of residents and soldiers from the area that would become Nelson County.
