If this be the fourth grade, then lets make the most of it!

For the entire month of March, I had the honor of portraying Patrick Henry once again. This time was at the invitation of Hanover Tavern which has been running spring Virginia history field trips for local fourth graders for nearly two decades.  The tavern itself was once the temporary home of Patrick Henry, while across the street is the original Hanover courthouse (1742) where Henry's father was a sitting judge, and he himself argued the famous Parsons' Cause case. 

Being isolated from the rest of the interpreters across the street, I did have the luxury of one new friend over at the Courthouse. Steve Hawkins (George Washington) has been portraying Washington and others for 20 years at the St John's Church's "liberty or death" speech reenactment that runs year round in Richmond. 

My next appearance at Hanover Courthouse will be on June the second, for the county's History and Hops evening, as well as performing for the 4th graders once again in March of 2024.
