Conference: Turning Points in the Civil War
Friday, Sept. 14, 8:30 a.m.-5 p.m.
Saturday, Sept. 15, 8:30 a.m.-5 p.m.

The Civil War witnessed a number of critical turning points. Major battles, the Emancipation Proclamation, the election of 1864, and the New York City draft riots represent the kinds of military, political, and social events that could signal a profound shift in the conflicts direction or momentum. Speakers at this conference will address the range, and potential for disagreement, inherent in any search for historical turning points. Rothenberg Hall

Registration for this 2-day conference is $25.
Optional buffet lunch each day for $20. (limited quantity - order early)

Conference registration is $10 for current Huntington docents, and free for current Long-Term Fellows and students with a current Student I.D. Please bring your current I.D. to event day check-in. Students, please note school affiliation after your name when registering.
