The American Civil War played out in countless communities across the divided nation. How those locales experienced the conflict depended on many factors other than just geography. Come hear Stephen Rockenbach, Professor of History at Virginia State University, discuss how Corydon, Indiana, and Frankfort, Kentucky, evolved over the conflict’s four years due to the turmoil and social upheaval that the Civil War brought to these two towns.

A limited amount of copies of Dr. Rockenbach’s book will be available for purchase at The Civil War Store for author signing.

The event is free with your Pamplin Historical Park membership or paid park admission.
