Explore the heart of the Heritage Area by horseback! This trail ride begins and ends at Old Welbourne, the stately 19th century Dulany home built in the wake of the Civil War. During the ride we will take an in-depth look at the Battle of Unison, an important but often overlooked action that took place in November, 1862 as the Union and Confederate armies maneuvered for position following the Battle of Antietam.
