During WWII, the town of Bedford lost the largest number of soldiers of any community in the United States. The impressive memorial was built to memorialize this fact and to remember the sacrifice of this small Virginia town. Join fellow members for trip to the National D-Day Memorial. Upon arrival, members will divide into small groups and a have a guided tour of the grounds, enjoying the fall foliage along the way. After the tour, journey back north to Natural Bridge to enjoy a lovely lunch at the Natural Bridge Hotel - included as part of your trip fee! Dine at your leisure and then venture, either by descending the 137 steps or riding the trolley, down to view the historic Natural Bridge itself. You may wish to sit view the landscape or venture on the walk along the river to the end of the trail. Many choose to descend the steps and ride the trolley back up to the lot! We expect to leave around 4:00 PM, returning to Harrisonburg about 5:00 PM.
