Upcoming Events

  • Celebrate Juneteenth with Purpose and Powerful Words!

    Saturday, 6/14/2025

    The Northern Neck Hidden History Trail, a project of MACorp. Inc., is advancing the Legacy of Juneteenth through storytelling, song, and community.

    Juneteenth invites all of us—regardless of background—to honor a deeper understanding of freedom, resilience, and unity. Commemorating the emancipation of enslaved African Americans, this day reminds us that the promise of liberty is not just a moment in history, but an ongoing journey we share as Americans. 

    This year’s event is scheduled for Saturday, June 14, at Ma Margaret’s House B&B in Reedville. 

    Our keynote Speaker is Cassandra Newby-Alexander, a renowned Historian and Author, and the main entertainment is Roberta Lea, an award-winning County singer and entertainer—you won’t want to miss it!

    Ma Margaret’s House B&B, 249 Greenfield Road, Reedville, Virginia 22539
