October Old-Time Retreat 2026

Join us for Augusta’s October Old-Time Retreat at Cass Scenic Railroad State Park in Cass, WV. The event will take place in this authentic West Virginian timber town which has been turned into a beautiful WV State Park. Stay in renovated company houses that were once homes to the many workers and tradesfolk that lived in this area during its bustling heyday. Classrooms include the company house living rooms, mayor’s office and the company store. Share meals in the old Masonic lodge, dance in the community hall, enjoy the train whistle echoing through the hollers, and jam on the many front porches overlooking the Greenbrier River.

This year’s staff includes Rachel Eddy (also the Artistic Advisor for the week), Benny Bleu, Hunter Walker, Jesse Milnes, Sophie Wellington, Rhys Jones, Becky Hill and Gerry Milnes. All of the classes for October Old-Time Retreat are geared towards Intermediate and Advanced players.
