History at Home In-Person / Online
The manpower needs of the American Civil War pushed communities, families and men to make life changing decisions. East Central Wisconsin, heavily populated by Democrats, soon proved to be a thorn in a Republican dominated state. Additionally, large numbers of ethnic immigrant groups dotted the landscape from Milwaukee to Green Bay, many of whom left Europe to escape the all too frequent wars plaguing that continent. It was unclear how they would respond as a lack of volunteers led to drafting men to fill the ranks.
History at Home programs focus on stories about the area's past every month. Programs are held on the second Thursday of every month at 6 pm in the McLane Room.The programs are free. Many History at Home programs are captured on video and shared on the library's YouTube channel. That link can be found at fdlpl.org/miss-program.
