Brad Siemer's U.S. History class at Brehm School attended the sixth annual Civil War Days at John A. Logan College recently.
The students listened to Barry Hancock, associate dean for community education at John A. Logan College and Michael Jones from the John A. Logan Museum, who spoke about John A. Logan and Southern Illinois during the Civil War.
Students also visited several "stations" at the event, including:
- Civil War Medical Doctor
- Life of a Civil War Soldier
- Firing of Cannon
- Robert E. Lee
- Southern Flags
- Civil War Re-enactors
- Members of the 31st Illinois Volunteer Infantry
- Lincoln Impersonator
- Women in the Civil War
The keynote speaker, Donald T. Phillips, also addressed the students. Phillips is the best-selling author of major works of nonfiction, including Lincoln on Leadership, The Founding Fathers On Leadership and Martin Luther King Jr. On Leadership.
"The students and I enjoy Civil War Days at John A. Logan College because we both can learn through the living history experience while in an exciting environment," said Brad.
The Civil War Days event was held from 9a.m.-2p.m.
