"History of Sewing," Janna Buttimer
"Life in the Civil War in Michigan"
We had a wonderful School Bell Series on March 11 on what it was like for people during the Civil War. Carl and Cherrie Weener have been re-enactors for over 14 years and know many details about the experience of life during the war. They shared many of their artifacts with us and described them.
Thank you to the Weeners for sharing their knowledge and to all who attended!
