To coincide with our exhibit Vindication: Lew Wallace in 1864, we’re excited to present a great line-up of Civil War lectures, beginning this month and running through November.
This coming Wednesday, March 19, Scott Busenbark of Crawfordsville will be speaking on the role Brown Township played in the Civil War. Scott is a local historian and a Civil War enthusiast. This year he joined the board of the Lew Wallace Study Preservation Society. He is a member of the Civil War Trust and has done extensive research on his own family’s Civil War ancestors in addition to local ties to the Civil War. Scott works as a Fire Captain with 27 years of service in the Crawfordsville Fire Department.
Civil War lectures are free and open to the public, but seating space is limited, so we ask that you RSVP to reserve a spot. You can do so by commenting on this post or on our Facebook page with your name and the number of people attending, or you can call us at 765-362-5769 or use our website’s contact form.

This is amazing, I love civil war history and all that it stood for. I wish I could be there to watch. Is there going to be a video online or anything where I can watch and see the lectures. If you are truly a historian and love collecting civil war pieces check out this stuff from Legacy. I purchased my first antique and I feel like I’m a part of history. Check it out, let me know what you think. http://www.legacy-collectibles.com/t-3-infrared-sniper-rifle-experimental-2031.html
We aren’t recording a video of the lecture, but we are live-Tweeting it with the hashtag #CivilWarLecture and will post a link of a Storify story of the lecture soon.
