An Armchair Tour of Civil War Sites across the US

The National Park Service oversees dozens of sites involving the military, political, and civil rights history of the Civil War. Allison Powell (a ranger from James A. Garfield National Historic Site) will lead an armchair tour of several such sites at noon on Wednesday, July 13, at Mentor Public Library’s Main Branch. The tour is part of JAGNHS’s monthly civil-war lecture series at the library. It’s perfect for both history and travel buffs!

Powell’s talk is free to enjoy and open to all. Due to limited space, registration is required. You can sign up on our website or call us at 440-255-8811 ext. 1.
