 Arts Council opens Civil War exhibit By Blair Ames, June 17, 2013



The Carroll County Arts Council recently unveiled its “Images of the Civil War” exhibit in time for the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Westminster, a skirmish commonly known as Corbit's Charge, that took place June 29, 1863, a few days before the Battle of Gettysburg.

The arts council hosted the exhibit's opening celebration June 13 with about 160 people attending.

Susan Williamson, visual arts coordinator of the arts council, said the majority of the pieces displayed come from arts council members who created their pieces within the last nine months.

Other works come from artists in Frederick, Gaithersburg, Cambridge, and as far as New York.

"Everything is new, which is the beauty of this show," Williamson said.

Works include oil paintings, water color, pastels, 3D printing, photography, and jewelry among other styles….Read more:  http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/carroll/westminster/ph-civil-war-exhibit-20130613,0,6396085.story

Today in history was the last day of the Battle of Gettysburg

Today in history was the last day of the Battle of Gettysburg

July 3, 1863

One of the best reads on the epic battle may be found here: The Gettysburg Campaign, on the ExplorePAhistory.com web site

The Battle of Gettysburg, fought over of the first three days of July in 1863, was one of the climactic events in American history.

Confederate General Robert E. Lee's bold offensive into northern territory resulted in the epic clash of two great armies with perhaps 175,000 soldiers, tens of thousands of horses and mules, more than 600 cannons, and hundreds of supply wagons and ambulances, all of which had traveled from Virginia to south-central Pennsylvania. Here, the two armies suffered a combined total of more than 51,000 men killed, wounded, and missing. Lee's army then walked back to Virginia where it continued to fight for almost two more years.

Politics By CHRISTINE SIMMONS, The Associated Press 2008-09-06

GETTYSBURG, Pa. –

President Bush brushed up on his Civil War history Friday, touring the battleground of Gettysburg, the site of one of the deadliest battles of the Civil War.

Normally for a $55 fee, visitors to the
Gettysburg National Military Park can tour the area along with a licensed guide. But Friday, Bush had with him Gabor Boritt, an Abraham Lincoln scholar and director of the Civil War Institute at Gettysburg College, who could explain chronological events of the war to match each site of the battleground.

The president began his mid-afternoon tour at the Virginia Memorial, one of 1,300 monuments on the park's grounds.

He also was treated to a sneak peek of the park's Museum and Visitor Center, which has its grand opening Sept. 26.
