Exhibit Celebrates the End of the Civil War in Carroll County By Cathy Baty, Historical Society of Carroll County John Mitten’s delegate badge to the 39th G.A.R. National Encampment in Denver, 1905. Courtesy of the Historical Society of Carroll County.
O
ver the last four years, Americans have been commemorating the 150th anniversary of the Civil War, one of the turning points in our nation’s history. Over three million Americans – Union and Confederate – served in the military during the war. In his book The Greatest Generation, Tom Brokaw designated the World War II generation as the greatest in history, arguing that they fought not for fame and recognition, but because it was the “right thing to do.” The same can be said of the Civil War generation. Civil War veterans became leaders in their communities and the nation, including six presidents (Ulysses S. Grant, Rutherford B. Hayes, James Garfield, Chester A. Arthur, Benjamin Harrison, William McKinley), well into the 20th century. The Historical Society of Carroll County recently opened the final year of its exhibit, The Civil War in Carroll County. In previous years, the exhibit focused on the events in Carroll County during 1863 and 1864. The new exhibit will focus on the end of the war and Carroll County’s Civil War veterans. The exhibit is in the Cockey’s Gallery, located at 216 East Main Street, Westminster, and is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. To learn more, call the Society at 410-848-6494. Consider a visit to the exhibit on June 27 and 28 and stay in town to www. va l leyrev ue . co m

enjoy activities planned for the annual Corbit’s Charge Living History Encampment that weekend. Public programs, including artillery and infantry demonstrations, a parade and wreath laying ceremonies, will commemorate the June 29, 1863, skirmish in which a small part of the Union First Delaware cavalry, under Captain Charles Corbit, engaged the vanguard of J.E.B. Stuart’s Confederate cavalry. The encampment will be in the field at 225 N. Center Street in downtown Westminster. Programs are free to the public from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. both days.
