The interior of the Graffiti House was repainted with new, period-correct, trim and wall colors. New period-correct curtains and window coverings were installed in the Graffiti House.
Paula Johnson introduced Chuck Laudner. Chuck is President of the Friends of Culpeper Battlefields-a coalition including the BSF which is supporting a state park in the Culpeper region.
