Leaders & Legacies of the Civil War: Archaeology of the Civil War In-Person

REGISTRATION OPENS FOUR WEEKS BEFORE THE DATE OF THE EVENT.

Program Change: Due to an unforeseen emergency, the planned program on first ladies cannot be given as scheduled.

Join James A. Garfield NHS staff and volunteers at Mentor Public Library on the second Wednesday of each month for a new talk on “Leaders and Legacies of the Civil War Era”! The Civil War ended over 150 years ago, but relics and artifacts are still being found today! This presentation will explore the methodology of historical archaeology and how it is reflected through Civil War archaeology. It will also explore ethical issues that surround the practice (example: no metal detecting in national parks!) and provide insight on best practices. Program is free of charge; please make a free reservation by calling Mentor Public Library at 440-255-8811.

SPEAKER: Rebekah Knaggs, First Ladies National Historic Site in Canton, Ohio.
