Downtown Manassas will make its television debut on a History Channel program this year.
According to Manassas Museum programs coordinator Doug Horhota, the History Channel decided to film a program on war trains in Manassas because the city is known for its trains.
“We shot the footage at three locations: Liberia Plantation, Manassas Railway Depot, and the Manassas National Battlefield Park” said Horhota.
Horhota was interviewed for the program because of his work at the museum, and his extensive knowledge on the city’s train history.
Manassas just hosted their 21st annual Manassas Heritage Railway Festival on June 6.
The trains filmed for the program were used during the Civil War for carrying supplies for troops.
The program is set to air at the end of this year.
