Fairy Stone State Park Moonshine Murders

Fairy Stone State Park - 967 Fairystone Lake Drive  - Stuart, VA 24171 

Murders over moonshine rocked the town of Fayerdale in the 1920s and 30s, leaving a dying town remembered for tragedy rather than the mining operations that once made it a boomtown. Moonshining (illegal whiskey making) was quite prevalent in and around the Fairy Stone State Park area in the early 1900s. Jealousy, greed, and competition often led to feuds, brawls, and even killings. "Moonshine Murders" reveals the events which sparked a number of these murders. Due to the gruesome nature of this topic, the program is recommended for ages 16 and older. July 10th, July 14th, July 17th, July 21st, July 24th, July 28th, July 31st, 2024, 2:30 PM - 3:30 PM
