150th Anniversary of the Civil War

The 150th anniversary of the American Civil War is upon us. The Civil War sesquicentennial (2011-2015) provides a fresh opportunity for a new generation to rediscover the many ways in which Ohioans played a key role in the war and in which the war – “this mighty scourge,” as Lincoln described it – changed life in Ohio. The Civil War story in Ohio touches almost every community in the state. Visit the official page of the 150th Anniversary of the Civil War  for more information and upcoming events.

The Lytle Camp participated with the DAR during their annual American History Days at Camp Dennison. Past Camp Commander Woody Cook displayed his very popular Civil Way era gun collection. Peter Sturdevant was on hand with his bugle to give a stirring rendition of Taps. Checl the photo gallery for pictures.
