This year marks the 150th anniversary of the start of the American Civil War, and the state of Connecticut is paying tribute.
Earlier this year, we talked a bit aboutConnecticut’s civil war history - and got a big response. Including from our friend, author and historian Bill Hosley.
Next month, he’ll lead a bus trip that hits some of our state’s historical hot spots. It’s called “Connecticut's Civil War Treasure Troves” - and its sponsored by the Connecticut Historical Society.
He’ll be hopping around the state to sample the best of our artifacts and lore - which unlike in Southern states, aren’t confined to large, central, civil war museums - instead they’re spread out through the 169 towns and cities.
We want to hear from you - what are the historical sites where you live? How has your town commemorated the “War Between The States?” And, if you’re a civil war reenacter - we definately want to hear from you!
