Women of the Civil War
May 17, 2012. The 
"War Between the States" may have been fought by greast armies of men, but women filled many vial roles in society and even in the military. Women such as Clara Barton and Dorothea Dix immediately come to mind, but what about Minnesota's women? This program highlights the incredible stories of Minnesota women who protected their homes, supported their soldiers, served the army in many different ways, and kept the home fires burning throughout the four years of the Civil War. Some were dedicated enough to continue working for veterans after the war. Their stories, long overlooked and forgotten, bring a new perspective to the history of America's most bloody war.
Historian Vicki Wendel presents Women of the Civil War to open the newest exhibit at the Scott County Historical Society. Admission, FREE. Event sponsored in part by the Minnesota Arts and Cultural Heritage Grant.
