Historical Society's 'Letters of the Civil War' Set for Feb. 3

The program was postponed due to the bad weather Jan.27. The program will now be held on Feb. 3.

If you planned to attend the “Letters of the Civil War” performance at the Glen Ellyn Historical Society on Jan. 27, but the weather or other things kept you from attending, you have another chance to see the program. 

The Glen Ellyn Historical Society cancelled the program and rescheduled it due to the inclement weather. The event is now set for Feb. 3 at 2 p.m.

"Letters of the Civil War," is a 60-minute performance with period attired Civil War actors dramatically interpreting more than 30 original letters from the war. The performance also include a music accompaniment, period photographs and historical reenactment video footage.
