The Historical Society has produced a Civil War Presentation available for viewing on YouTube.

Take a trip back in time and spend 12 minutes with us as you listen to local historians discuss the Civil War. They bring us snippets of life in the 1860’s through explanations of the war, it’s onset, impact and meaning. Hear stories of Pickett’s Charge, Battery B, Gettysburg and of course the Emancipation Proclamation. Learn what came out of the Civil War with its lingering impact on our modern life.

Gather round, make some pop corn, and experience a most enjoyable “history lesson” from our local historians.

Topics include

  • Fort Sumter
  • Election of Lincoln
  • Gettysburg
  • Pickett’s Charge
  • Battery B
  • Emancipation Proclamation
  • Lincoln’s Leadership
  • What Came Out of the Civil War
