Date:

Time:
1:00 PM - 3:00 PM EDT
Event Description:
Along this sleepy stretch of High Bridge Trail, a murder was committed that would eventually result in Virginia adopting electrocution as the sole means of execution and centralized in Richmond. Learn about the crime, the apprehension of the suspects, their escape, re-apprehension, trial and execution by hanging that was so botched, Virginia did away with local hangings. Feel free to bring a bit to eat and converse as there is a picnic table nearby as well as a comfort station.
