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. You can catch the premiere on the AHP website, YouTube, and social media.

Luncheon: Bacon’s Rebellion -The First American Revolution
On October 10, 2026, AHP will host a hybrid luncheon event commemorating the 350th anniversary of Bacon’s Rebellion, a seminal event in American history. In the 17th and 18th centuries, Jamestown colonist Nathaniel Bacon was revered as a great leader of a citizens’ movement for freedom. Thomas Jefferson lauded him. A plaque in the Virginia State Capitol calls him “A Great Patriot Leader of the Virginia People who died defending their rights.” He has gone down in history as the leader of “Bacon’s Rebellion,” considered by some historians to be America’s First Revolution.” Who was this man, and what was Bacon’s Rebellion all about?
