Beginning of the Civil War & LaSalle County Impact | In-Person Single Session


ID : 25319   

« back to classes page
Explore the pivotal moments and untold stories of the Civil War era and its impact on LaSalle County, from the Underground Railroad and Lincoln-Douglas Debates to the Wigwam and the election of 1860. Learn about local regiments and their battles, the vital roles of women on the home front, and how the conflict evolved beyond its expected 90 days. Discover how horses, mules, and railroads shaped the war, and gain insight into the harsh realities of disease and life as a prisoner of war.

Presented by the David Reed (Streatorland Museum), Dan Schott (Ottawa Scouting Heritage Museum) Alex Rezvan (Mendota Museum & Historical Society) & Jeff Maierhofer (Seneca Historical Guild)
