Embers of Honor - Nights in Nature Series

Wednesday, November 11, 2026 · 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM

Raymond R. "Andy" Guest, Jr. Shenandoah River State Park — 350 Daughter Of Stars Dr., Bentonville, VA

We're teaming up with the Warren Heritage Society to honor our local heroes! We'll gather around a campfire as a local archivist shares stories of local veterans from the present day to years past. After the presentation, we'll light lanterns in honor of each hero and take a lantern-lit walk through the picnic area. This program starts at the amphitheater beside the River Bend Discovery Center. A short hike up a grassy hill is required to reach the seating area. This program is not ADA accessible. Registration is required. Please click here to register. This is the final program of our Nights in Nature Series. Please view the attached PDF to get an idea of the other engaging night programs that we'll host next year! For more information, please call (540) 622-2262 or email megan.goin@dcr.virginia.gov. Parks are for everyone. Please let us know if you need special accommodations.
