Local historian David Walter leads a virtual exploration of Chester County’s own Civil War POW camp.
Historian Dave Walter has uncovered the records of this Civil War P.O.W. camp and woven a fascinating tale of the stories of those who commanded the camp and those who were its prisoners. His power point presents fascinating tales of tragedy, humor, and even an amazing love story, as these Union soldiers from all over the North were greeted by, and cared for by, the residents of West Chester and surrounding townships.
Presentation is via Zoom, and will be recorded and available for 7 days for all registered participants. We will email out a Zoom link the day of the presentation, and email a link to the recording within 48 hours.
