Where We Live: Connecticut Civil War History Tour

This year marks the 150th anniversary of the start of the American Civil War, and the state of Connecticut is paying tribute.

Earlier this year, we talked a bit about Connecticut’s civil war history - and got a big response.  Including from our friend, author and historian Bill Hosley.  

Next month, he’ll lead a bus trip that hits some of our state’s historical hot spots.  It’s called “Connecticut's Civil War Treasure Troves” - and its sponsored by the Connecticut Historical Society.  

He’ll be hopping around the state to sample the best of our artifacts and lore - which unlike in Southern states, aren’t confined to large, central, civil war museums - instead they’re spread out through the 169 towns and cities.

We want to hear from you - what are the historical sites where you live?  How has your town commemorated the “War Between The States?”  And, if you’re a civil war reenacter - we definately want to hear from you!
