Description
During the 150th anniversary of the American Civil War, the Monroe County Local History Room will recognize the sacrifice and contribution of these Citizen Soldiers and their families through a new, riveting educational program called, "Farmer Goes to War: Monroe County in the American Civil War." "Farmer Goes To War" shows audiences what being a Union soldier from Monroe County was like, from the drudgery of drill to the horrors of battle. Through this hands-on program, Monroe County Historian, Jarrod Roll, will teach audiences about the Union soldier's uniforms & gear, weaponry & warfare, camp life & diet, death, disease, sacrifice, and much more.
