On April 22, 2026, our community came together to celebrate Culpeper’s unique place in the story of religious liberty. The program began in the colonial era—reflecting on the 11 Baptist preachers once imprisoned in the Culpeper jail—and traced how those early struggles helped shape our nation’s founding principles. Together, we explored the modern challenges and opportunities of religious liberty before moving to the Library for a reception. There, guests also had the unique opportunity to observe the Muslim Call to Prayer in the Studio.
