As we stroll through the historic village, actors will give attendees a glimpse into life in the 1800’s. “This is a great opportunity for our drama team to study the lives of some of Surry County’s earliest inhabitants and to learn more about Rockford’s interesting history. We are very excited about this event”, said Brack Llewellyn of the NoneSuch Playmakers Theatre. The reunion activities will continue with a BBQ lunch, bluegrass music by Eric and Ben Marshall, tours of the historic buildings, and sharing of family and local history.
