Civil War 150 “Kick-Off” Event “Reflections on the Beginning of War” Press Release
Many activities have been planned throughout Licking County to commemorate the 150th Anniversary of The Civil War. The Licking County Historical Society will host a “kick-off” event for the Civil War Sesquicentennial, in cooperation with the Civil War 150th Commemoration Committee and the Licking County Historical Alliance, on Sunday, April 3 at the Buckingham Meeting House, at Veterans’ Park in Newark. Prior to the program performance, music by Folk Legends of Central Ohio will begin at 1:30 PM, with the program following at 2 PM. Titled “Reflections on the Beginning of War”, the performance introduces us to area citizens’ thoughts on the beginning of this tragic war, and where the war would lead them.

Among items on display will be John Clem and other Civil War soldiers’ memorabilia; Civil War Hospital equipment; Civil War Battle flags of Licking County regiments; and many items from various Licking County Historical Alliance Members, and individual citizens.
