The Wayne County Civil War Roundtable will present “Civil War Women Forged a Path” with Kim Villalva on Tuesday, Nov. 21, at 6:30 p.m. at the Wayne County Historical Society, 546 E. Bowman St., in Wooster. The free program will be held in the schoolhouse on the historical society’s campus. Parking is available in the historical society’s lot off Spink St., as well as along the fence at the eastern end of the Drug Mart lot on Bowman St.
Women in the Civil War forged a path that others would follow. As they stepped out of their traditional and societal roles, they set out to make a difference and ended up making history. Come learn how women contributed during this challenging time in our nation’s history and hear their inspiring stories.
