***** Society News & Information *****

We had a well attended and interesting discussion meeting in May. The question "What Civil War era person would you most like to meet and what would you ask them?" solicited a variety of names and opinions, with Abraham Lincoln and Robert E. Lee most often named but several others receiving attention too. Discussions were thoughtful, sometimes quite lively.

*****

Attendees at the May meeting voted to send a $100 preservation donation to the Evergreen Cemetery Gatehouse Preservation Project in Gettysburg. A check will be on its way to that project soon.

*****

Presentations have been scheduled through August, 2026. There are openings for the remainder of 2026 and members are encouraged to give a presentation. It's a good way to focus on a Civil War topic of personal interest and contribute to the society.

*****

If you have suggestions for worthy Civil War preservation or education related causes we should consider donating to, please let Mark Perkins know or email us at info@kentcivilwar.org .
