The 250th anniversary celebrations of the Bee Line March culminated in a vibrant reenactment at Morgan’s Grove Park and downtown Shepherdstown. This historic commemoration recalled the 600-mile march taken by local riflemen who answered the Continental Congress's call in 1775 to support George Washington at the Siege of Boston. The event featured military drills, 18th-century games for children, flintlock demonstrations, and performances by the Old Line Fife and Drum Corps. Attendees enjoyed a festive atmosphere with food trucks and educational activities relevant to Revolutionary War life, further enriching the community's connection to its history, as covered by the West Virginia Press Association.
