If you have picked up one of the free papers distributed throughout Gloucester, VA and are interested in attending the Field Days From The Past, you are asking yourself, where the heck is it?  The only thing the paper, in it's 44 pages ever manages to tell you is that it is 14 miles west of Richmond, VA

 That is a huge territory.  An oversight of the people putting together all the information, it was easy to look over when you look at the tremendous scope of the event.

  Not to fret, we looked up all the information and have it here for you.
