Civil War Media Club: Meade at Gettysburg: A Study in Command by Kent Masterson Brown
Thursday, March 30 | 6:30pm – 8:30pm | $8 ($10 non-members) Register Here
The Media Club will meet at Ashling on the Lough. Food and beverage are available for purchase.
Although he took command of the Army of the Potomac only three days before the first shots were fired at Gettysburg, Union General George G. Meade guided his forces to victory in the Civil War’s most pivotal battle. Though many commentators often dismiss Meade when discussing the great leaders of the Civil War, Kent Masterson Brown draws on an expansive archive to reappraise his leadership during the Battle of Gettysburg.
Walking Tour of the Grounds of the Milwaukee Soldier’s Home
Saturday, May 6 | 10:00am – 12:00pm | $12 ($15 non-members) Register Here
Participants must provide their own transportation to the site.
The Civil War Museum, in collaboration with volunteers from the Milwaukee Preservation Alliance, is excited to offer a walking tour of the buildings and grounds of the newly rehabbed Milwaukee Soldiers Home. Highlights of the tour include the interior of Old Main and the building’s history exhibit as well as exterior stops at the Home’s historic Theater, Church, Library, and Cemetery. Our guides will also concentrate on the personal stories of the Civil War veterans who made the Soldier’s Home their home after the war.
The group will meet at the grounds at 10am to begin the walking tour. Parking is available.
A portion of the proceeds from the tour will be donated to the Milwaukee Preservation Alliance.
