Elkton in Battle may fade from town schedule this year
Elkton may cancel its premier summer historical event after three successful stagings. Organizers Allison Morris and Diane Johnson say they will not run a fourth Elkton in Battle and seek new groups to take over as the Civil War centennial year draws interest elsewhere.

JMU Professor Leads Elkton Cemetery Dig for Early Settler Adam Miller
Elkton details show JMU geology professor Anna Courtier guiding students with radar to locate Adam Miller’s grave and relocate it near a monument. The site lacks a headstone, with a missing metal marker once placed by Brill Funeral Home. Evidence rests on a 1970s Valley Banner story and Elkton Historical Society remarks.
