Make plans now! This is an amazing story.

“Fans of colonial heroine Mary Draper Ingles and history buffs will find the 2025 festival in Radford City and Pulaski County, Va., filled with music, historic interpreters and sites, food trucks, children’s activities, art and the scenic New River July 25-27.

There’s even a beer named for Mary at the local Long Way Brewing. 🍻

This year’s Mary Draper Ingles Festival celebrates the 270th anniversary of her 1755 capture and escape during the French and Indian War. Born in Philadelphia to immigrant parents from Ireland, Mary and her family became part of the westward migration movement and eventually settled in Draper’s Meadow (today’s Blacksburg, Va.). In the midst of the war, Mary was captured by American Indians and taken to Ohio. She later escaped and completed a treacherous trip back to her home near the New River. That journey was made famous by the “New York Times” bestseller, “Follow the River.” 📚”
