No single item of food or drink meant as much to Civil War soldiers. They talked about coffee, wrote about coffee, and dreamed about coffee. This SPARK! program describes the different methods Civil War soldiers obtained, brewed and shared their coffee and how these actions sometimes brought them brief moments of peace, comfort and kindness.
All programs are free, but pre-registration is required. Email spark@kenosha.org or call 262-653-4432 to register.
