Confederate Veterans, successor of the United Confederate Veterans, will co-host this centennial of the unveiling. The date for this event will be Saturday, Sept. 25, 1999.

The guest speaker will be Mr. Horace Mewbom, author of 43rd Battalion Virginia Cavalry Mosby’s Command, The Virginia Regimental Histories Series.
The Tuscarora Brass Band will provide authentic music of the period before and after the ceremonies. Presentation of the Colors will be presented by the Maryland Division, Sons of Confederate Veterans. The 43rd re-enactment group will fire the salute and give an artillery battery fire. The President of the Virginia Division, United Daughters of the Confederacy, Mrs. John H. Gum, and the Commander of the Virginia Division, Sons of Confederate Veterans, Mr. Robert W. “Red” Barbour, will welcome and address those attending.
There will be many distinquished guests present, including descendants of the men who were executed in Front Royal on Sept. 23, 1864. After the ceremonies we will proceed to the Warren Rifles Confederate Museum for refreshments and entertainment. This unique museum will be opened for all to explore with no admission fee. Transportation will be provided from the public parking lot, near the museum, to the cemetery before the ceremony and back to the museum after the ceremony.
This is a tribute to the men who fought a terrible four years of war and made the ultimate sacrifice with their lives. It will be a time to remember and a time to enjoy a common interest, the War Between the States. We look forward to seeing and welcoming you to Front Royal.
