Civil War Hijinks - Saturday, April 27, 2024

Get a glimpse into the lives of one of Oconomowoc's founding families, the Claflins. This presentation is based on the book A Quiet Corner of the War: The Civil War Letters of Gilbert and Esther Claflin, edited by their descendant, Judy Cook. Gilbert and Esther's touching correspondence from 1861-62 while he served in the Army and she minded the farm and their two sons comes to life through the voices of Judy and her husband Dennis Cook in both spoken word and song. Charming folk songs of the era will bring the spirit and feelings of those long-ago days to life. You will probably want to join in on a chorus or two!

This presentation is free and open to the public. Schedule for the morning:
9:30 - Coffee
10:00 - Membership business meeting
