HAMMOND – The South Shore Civil War Memorial trail’s expo “Region United, Nation Divided: Civil War in the South Shore” has been extended through June 30 due to popular demand.
The expo showcases the region’s contributions to our nation’s bloodiest war through a series of special events and exhibits as it commemorates the Civil War’s 150th anniversary of its third year as well as the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg.
Field trip opportunities to the Indiana Welcome Center during the expo are available. The field trips are free and include a guided walk-through with further explanation on the various exhibit items as well as an interactive quiz. For more information, contact Visitor Services Manager Rik Piszczek by calling (219) 554-2954.
The South Shore Civil War Memorial Trail is a collection of the last known resting places, monuments, architectural icons and sites with Civil War ties that are related to the brave men and women from the region who sacrificed during the most pivotal period in our nation’s history. The trail serves as a guide for visitors who wish to pay their respects to the veterans and learn the stories of their humanity and sacrifice during and after the war.
The Indiana Welcome Center is open seven days a week from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and is located at 7770 Corinne Drive, Hammond.
