All are welcome to attend a free public program at the North Berrien Historical Museum to commemorate an historic occasion this spring—the 150th anniversary of the beginning of the Civil War. Dr. Chris Paine, Professor of History at Lake Michigan College, will join us to present a talk entitled “The Winter of Our Discontent: The Civil War Gets Started”. Dr. Paine will discuss the secessions of southern states from the Union in 1861 and President Lincoln’s response to the problem. What happened during that time changed our nation forever— but was it a coup? A revolution? Neither? Dr. Paine’s teaching skills and expertise in 19th century American history make this a program not to be missed. Refreshments will follow.
This event will be held Tuesday, March 15, at 7:00 pm. The North Berrien Historical Museum is located on Red Arrow Highway across from Coloma High School. For more information, call the museum at (269) 468-3330.
