Photos & Video: Mosby's Raid on Downtown Herndon

The Herndon Historical Society and many supporters entertained crowds on St. Patrick's Day as a group of re-enactors took over downtown Herndon for the 150th anniversary of Mosby's Herndon Station Raid. 

Mosby and his Rangers led a surprise attack on the First Vermont Cavalry, stationed at the Herndon Depot downtown. The First Vermont had been on guard for 12 hours and presumed the group of soldiers — who wore blue jackets over their gray uniforms — to be their relief. 

The Herndon Historical Society and the Herndon Chamber of Commerce sponsored event with support from the Town of Herndon and many local businesses, including: MEDA, HRI Associates, Jimmy's Old Town Tavern, Vision Source - Dr. Finley's Family Eyecare, Aspen Jewelry Designs, Green Lizard Cycling, Dr. Raman Jassal, Richard and Linda Downer, Signe Friedrichs,
