Patrick Farris of the Warren Heritage Society will present the history of gundalows on the Shenandoah at 6 p.m. February 25 at Samuels Public Library. The program, sponsored by Friends of the Shenandoah River, explores river transport and local culture with notes on potential replica construction. Admission is free.

The council also eyed reviving vacant properties including the 1867 Afton Inn next to the Town Administration Building on Main Street and Royal Avenue, owned by the Front Royal Warren County Economic Development Authority, vacant for years. Future meetings and work sessions will address these issues. There will be no work session Monday for Presidents Day. The next work session is 7 p.m. Tuesday at 102 E. Main St.
