Mothers, daughters, sister, sweethearts, and wives--North and South--had a unique Civil War story often overlooked in the fervor to write of battles and battlefields. Remarkable records survive to tell the stories of women on the homefront; stories of love, leadership, loss, and often divided loyalties played out in row homes, mansions, slave quarters, and plowfields from Maine to Florida. Â Come learn of grandmas who really did shoot Yankees, aunties who feigned modesty to conceal contraband in their 'dainties,' Â spirited mothers who fiercely protected their families, and much much more. Â Participants will be equipped to seek their own stories of strong women in the Civil War.Â
$20 includes continental breakfast, lecture, lunch buffet and tour of the historic Keith House.
