March 13—Aurora Chamber of Commerce holds its monthly meeting in the gallery & will visit the exhibition.

March 16—History Professors Dr. Daniel Kilbride, John Carroll University & Dr. Diane Barnes, Youngstown State University, will discuss the era. Dr. Kilbride will talk about “Lincoln & Civil Rights during the Civil War,” & Dr. Barnes will talk about “Abolitionists & Lincoln.” As many of you know, Ohio was active with abolitionists but Aurora did not so energetically support ending slavery. This should be a lively event!

March 30—Dr. Peter D’Onofrio, President, Society of Civil War Surgeons will present “Medical Advancements in the Civil War.” This should be an enlightening discussion which will make us all appreciate the level of medical care & technology we enjoy today!
