A special event
commemorating the 150th anniversary of the American Civil War will be
held at the
Eastwood Mall Complex on Tuesday, April 12, 2011, between
3 and 6 p.m.
The Sutliff Museum CW 150 Committee sponsors the
event. It will feature five areas of interest. Each area will display
timely artifacts with informed volunteers. The areas of interest will
include: the national election of 1860, the attack on
Fort Sumter, a
mock enlistment table with re-enactors in attendance, a showing of uniforms by types of service and a
display of commemorative postage stamps. President Abraham Lincoln,
portrayed by Jerry Payne, and William McKinley, portrayed by Mike
Wilson, will also be part of the festivities.
Volunteers in
costume will guide visitors to the activity area in the Eastwood Mall
Center Court, where a presentation of the colors by
Boy Scout Troop 101 from Howland
will take place about 3:30 p.m. Following brief presentations by the
day's speakers, the colors will be retrieved about 4:15 p.m.
A free, informative, locally-produced,
six-panel brochure on the Civil War, entitled
Conflicts That
Sparked the American Civil War (1861-1865) will be made available to all
visitors as a keepsake. [PDF 2 pages]
This opening event will be the first of
a series of semi-annual events to be presented over the course of the
four-year commemoration of the War. The planning committee includes:
Sally Thomas, chair, Carole Babyak, Doug Babyak, Bruce Birrell, Alex
Bobersky, Gina Boder, AmeriCorp coordinator Rachel Doddato, Lynn
Griffith Jr., Larry Hardman, Roger Juntunen, Wendell Lauth, Hugh
Mullen, Jan Rice, Harry Schoger, Bruce Thomas and Ray Vanderpool.
Other supporting volunteers are Ron Heames, Sue Kindelburger, Emily
Love, Eileen Patrone and Stephanie Sferra.
According to Wendell
F. Lauth, a noted Trumbull County Historian, “Trumbull County men
participated in major military operations in practically every sector
where Union forces fought.” Students and their parents are urged to
attend this event and the entire four-year series to commemorate and
learn about what life was like during that time period and about those
who actively participated in the American Civil War on both sides.
The CW 150 Committee has a particular interest in Civil War
activity associated with Trumbull County people. Anyone who has
special knowledge, artifacts or oral-type history may want to share that
information with a volunteer at the Eastwood Mall Complex event on
April 12. Write your name and phone number on a 3 x 5 card with a few
words about your special knowledge and give it to one of the
volunteers. |
