SUMMARY:Exhibit Opening: Civil War Innovation and Technology
DESCRIPTION:March 22\, 2025 – March\, 2026 \nThe Civil War was a turning point not just in American history\, but in the advancement of technology. Civil War Innovation & Technology explores the groundbreaking developments that reshaped medicine\, transportation\, communication\, daily life\, and warfare. From battlefield surgery and the rise of anesthesia to the expansion of railroads and the introduction of the telegraph\, these innovations changed the way people lived and fought.

SUMMARY:“Too Much for Human Endurance”: The George Spangler Farm Hospitals and the Battle of Gettysburg
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, March 22  |  1pm – 2pm  |  Presented by Ron Kirkwood \nThe blood stains are gone\, but the worn floorboards remain. The doctors\, nurses\, and patients who toiled and suffered and ached for home at the Army of the Potomac’s XI Corps hospital at the George Spangler Farm in Gettysburg have long since departed. Happily\, though\, their stories remain\, and noted journalist and George Spangler Farm expert Ronald D. Kirkwood brings these people and their experiences to life in “Too Much for Human Endurance”: The George Spangler Farm Hospitals and the Battle of Gettysburg. \nUsing a massive array of firsthand accounts\, Kirkwood re-creates the sprawling XI Corps hospital complex and the people who labored and suffered there—especially George and Elizabeth Spangler and their four children\, who built a thriving 166-acre farm only to witness it nearly destroyed when war paid them a bloody visit that summer of 1863. Stories rarely if ever told of nurses\, surgeons\, ambulance workers\, musicians\, teenage fighters\, and others are weaved seamlessly through gripping\, smooth-flowing prose.

SUMMARY:Second Friday Lecture: Two Histories Merge at the Underground Railroad: Abolitionists Seth Paine and Harriet Tubman
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, April 11  |  12pm – 1pm  |  Presented by Nancy Shumm and E. Olivia Darden \nAuthor of The Anointed One\, Nancy Schumm\, and Narrator of the Audiobook\, E. Olivia Darden will present Seth Paine and Harriet Tubman in a new light focusing on Seth’s work on the Midwest Underground Railroad\, black history\, and his collaboration with others in Chicago and Lake Zurich that mirrored the work of Harriett Tubman along the Eastern Seaboard of the United States. While Harriet and others were hard at work in the East\, abolitionists in Chicago assisted freedom seekers escaping from southern states leading them to the Great Lakes and Canada. This program will include readings from the book\, details of the Underground Railroad activity in the Great Lakes\, and the work of Harriett Tubman in the East. \nThe untold story of humanitarian and progressive activist Seth Paine comes to life in the narration of The Anointed One by activist and Harriet Tubman descendant E. Olivia Darden\, Esq. When author and Baltimore resident Nancy Schumm and Darden met\, their common interest in civil rights and humanitarian works inspired them to combine their efforts to promote the historical biography of Lake Zurich founder Seth Paine.

SUMMARY:Second Friday Lecture: New Philadelphia\, Illinois: Seven Ways to Freedom
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, May 9  |  12pm – 1pm  |  Presented by Dr. Kate Williams-McWorter and Dr. Gerald McWorter \nFrom a distance\, New Philadelphia looked like a typical Illinois pioneer town of the mid-1800s. But New Philadelphia was not a typical pioneer town. As travelers got closer\, they would find a small but bustling community where Black and White villagers lived and worked side by side. For formerly enslaved Free Frank McWorter\, the town meant new beginnings and an opportunity to free family members enslaved in Kentucky. New Philadelphia\, which he founded in 1836\, is the first U.S. town platted and registered by an African American. \nGerald McWorter and Kate Williams-McWorter’s presentation will tell the story of this unique central Illinois town from its inception to its recognition at the United States’ 424th National Park in December 2022.
