Storrowton and

The Civil War

 

Tuesday, June 12

6:00 pm

 

 

Storrowton Village will present an interactive, educational storytelling tour offering an inside look at how folks in the Northeast coped with both the war and the absence of

the men who were called to duty

or joined the patriotic fervor

 

 

You will meet townspeople and hear

their personal stories and points

of view - wiitness an abolitionist's anti-slavery speech, hear a blacksmith speak of how the

increase in manufacturing during

the war has impacted his life,

and gain insight into the women's efforts to support the troops by sewing and making clothing

 

 

Stop in at the General Store for a conversation about the separation

of the southern states, the lack of cotton textiles, and how suppliers and consumers from both the North and the South are affected

 

 

At the Gilbert House you will have

the opportunity to experience one

family's preparation for the wake of

a family member who died while

in service to his country
