Ghosts from the Past: Pioneer Cemeteries of the West
Hosted by Jay Dickey The series takes viewers on-location to historic Western burial grounds, using grave markers, local archives, and primary sources to uncover the personal stories of the miners, pioneers, and early settlers who built the American West. Part 1 brings Jay to historic Virginia City, Nevada, for an on-location tour of the Silver Terrace Cemeteries, spotlighting the forgotten lives, hardships, and triumphs of 19th-century boomtown residents. The episode is tentatively set for release on October 8, 2026—commemorating the exact date in 1859 when the legendary Territorial Enterprise newspaper documented the very first recorded use of the name "Virginia City" in print.

Luncheon: Bacon’s Rebellion -The First American Revolution
Join us for a special event! On October 10th, 2026, AHP’s President Jay Dickey will give a talk on one of the major events in the early years of the Virginia Colony. entitled “Bacon’s Rebellion: The First American Revolution.” 2026 marks the 350th anniversary of Bacon’s Rebellion, which took place in 1676. Bacon was a political leader of the nascent Virginia Colony, and who became the chief antagonist against the Colony’s Governor, William Berkeley. The Governor’s failed leadership provoked Bacon and his allies to mount an armed rebellion, which ultimately led to the burning of the Jamestown Fort. Bacon himself was an articulate spokesperson who advocated for a more democratic government and a more rigorous defense of the colony against repeated Indian attacks. Bacon died suddenly in the midst of the warfare, and the rebellion was crushed.
