- **Event Name**: Civil War: The Homefront in Pennsylvania's Coal Region 
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 15 Jan, 2026 at 06:00 pm
- **Event Description**: In the anthracite coal fields of Pennsylvania, the Civil War unfolded far from the front lines, yet touched every colliery, town, and household.

Anthracite coal from the Coal Region powered the U.S. Navy, fired Northern factories, and kept the Union war machine moving - making these patch towns and villages as vital as any battlefield. 

Yet while sons and neighbors marched off to fight for the Union, unrest simmered at home. Antiwar politics surged through mining villages. Draft resistance flared. State and federal troops occupied communities not only to enforce conscription, but to suppress strikes and labor organizing as wartime profits flooded the region. 

This program explores the Coal Region’s divided home front - where patriotism, profit, coercion, and class conflict collided beneath the shadow of the coal breaker and the American flag.

This program is part of the 2026 Anthracite Heritage Month programs.
