This event has come together on very short notice, but it’s a wonderful
opportunity for you to shake off the winter blues, step back in time,
and enjoy an afternoon with your Porsche friends. On Saturday,
February 23, 2013 join fellow Shenandoah member and our
guide for the day Anne Wilkes as we start in Richmond with a visit
to The American Civil War Center at Historic Tredegar, the former
1861 Tredegar Gun Foundry. This is our nation’s first museum
to interpret the Civil War from Union, Confederate, and African
American perspectives. Afterward, we’ll take a short drive to Rocketts
Landing, just east of the city, for a lunch at M Bistro and Wine Bar
with selections inspired by Country French and Southern cuisines.
While there we’ll learn more about Richmond’s rich history. To top
off our outing we’ll take a drive east alongside the scenic James River
to Shirley Plantation in Charles City for a tour of Virginia’s oldest
plantation, which dates back to 1613.
