Bring out Dad and spend Father's Day at 'Civil War Weekend' learning about the men who answered President Lincoln's call for troops in 1861, those who remained on the home front, and those on the other side!

Special presentations are scheduled throughout the weekend, and a dance (open to the public!) will be held on Saturday evening.
