Augusta Heritage Center’s October Old-Time Retreat

Join us for Augusta’s October Old-Time Retreat at Cass Scenic Railroad State Park in Cass, WV. The event will take place in this authentic West Virginian timber town which has been turned into a beautiful WV State Park. Stay in newly renovated houses that were once homes to the many workers and tradesfolk that lived in this area during its bustling heyday. Classrooms include the company house living rooms, mayor’s office and the company store. Share meals in the old Masonic lodge, dance in the community hall, enjoy the train whistle echoing through the hollers, and jam on the many front porches overlooking the Greenbrier River. This year’s staff includes Rachel Eddy (multi-instrument class, Augusta Advisor for the week), Erynn Marshall (fiddle), Jesse Milnes (fiddle), Brad Kolodner (banjo), Hilary Hawke (banjo), Carl Jones (guitar), Danny Knicely (mandolin), and Evie Ladin (singing). All of the classes for October Old-Time Retreat are geared towards Intermediate and Advanced players. Tuition for the event is $495, with options to add housing and meals.
