Coming up later this month, residents will have a chance to learn about the legends of what happened to the Confederate Treasury during a program at Sailor’s Creek Battlefield Historical State Park. 

This 45-minute presentation will provide an overview of the mysteries of lost Confederate gold as well as some Virginia connections and highlight recent discoveries. It’ll start at 1 p.m. on Saturday, March 16 in the Sailor’s Creek Visitor’s Center. 

From there, guests are encouraged to enjoy one of the many hiking trails throughout the park or learn more by taking the marked driving tour around the park. Trail guides and a driving tour map will be available.

Sailor’s Creek is located at 6541 Saylers Creek Road in Rice. The Visitor’s Center is open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. dailey, while the park itself closes at dusk. Each presentation as well as parking is free. For more information, call (804) 561-7510.
