Window on the past

It should be noted that during the Revolutionary War an arsenal stood where Columbia now stands. Also it is believed that the Monacan Indian village of Rassawek occupied that site.

I suggest that Columbia have a revolutionary war reenactment. If possible they could have remaining Monacans construct a village. An event like this could bring in many tourists and revitalize the town.

Louisa has Jack Jouett who rode to warn Jefferson but how many of you have heard of Jesse Thomas who rode to warn the arsenal that the British were coming? This piece of historic trivia Could be worked into the reenactment.
