2010 started with cleanup projects at Ft. Magruder and Cowles-Spencer Cemetery. Camp Compatriots with volunteers from two Boy Scout Troops, Williamsburg Troop 103 and the Croaker Lone Scouts converged on the Fort two Saturdays in January for winter maintenance. Trees were trimmed, brush cleared, trash removed and brush clearing was started on the berms. We will have two more clean-up days at the Fort on February 13 and 20th. James City Cavalry's goal is to have the Fort in presentation form for the upcoming 150 year Sesquicentennial.

 

Camp Compatriots held a work day at Cowles-Spencer Cemetery off of Theodore Allen Road in January, clearing brush, trees, removing trash and re-setting one of the broken headstones.

 

Peach Park Cemetery continues to be one of our perpetual projects and in January we installed a new larger First National Flag. The flag can be seen from all directions standing proudly over the grave of Lt. Col. James Harvey Allen of the 5th Virginia Cavalry (James City Cavalry) who is buried there.
