Civil War Lecture

Bob Bong, Neighbor

Author Michael Weeks will host a slide lecture titled “Finding Hallowed Ground: America’s Civil War Historic Sites Today” at 7 p.m. Monday, April 4, at the Oak Lawn Public Library, 5300 W. 95th St.

While many Civil War historic sites are preserved as national or state parks, many others are not. Yet, even the smallest sites are easy to find and hold incredible stories. 

Michael Weeks, author of "The Complete Civil War Road Trip Guide," will give this lecture about the nation’s premier Civil War sites, as well as many hidden gems. Visit his web site: www.civilwarroadtrip.com.
