Final preparations in full swing for this year's Ghosts of Sotterley Tours! Tomorrow night (Thursday) is opening night and the Friends of Sotterley Acting Troupe, all volunteers, are tremendously psyched to present this year's historical dramatization entitled, "The Civil War at Sotterley - The Nation will rise again ... and so will the dead!"
The Nation is divided by the Civil War and the death toll is rising. Danger lurks at every turn, especially for Confederate sympathizers. While the state of Maryland voted to hold an official position of neutrality during the war, much of Southern Maryland took a pro confederate stance. Many residents, like the Briscoe family who owned Sotterley during this era, took great pains and often great risks to support the Confederate cause. The characters you will meet along the tour are all based on real people and the stories they have to tell are steeped in historical fact. Each scene will offer a different perspective during a difficult period in our Nation’s history, while entertaining and spooking visitors at the same time.
