The American War for Independence: The Loyalists

The Hanover Tavern Foundation and the living historians of the Virginia Line invite you to attend a unique and exciting Living History Event of the American War for Independence on Saturday, February 17th, 2024, on the grounds of the Hanover Tavern.
This year, the Virginia Line is shifting focus to cover the Loyalist side of the war and those Americans living the colonies who remained true to the Crown. They will portray Captain Eli Branson’s Independent Company of Loyal NC Volunteers. These men joined up with Cornwallis following the Battle of Guildford Courthouse and accompanied his Army throughout its forays and battles in Virginia in 1781, and were present at the surrender in Yorktown.
This event is FREE for the public.
