Sesquicentennial
The 150th Anniversary
of the Civil War
 Events commemorating the 150th anniversary of the Civil War are underway. Some sesquicentennial events are already behind us with Kansas recognizing “Bleeding Kansas” at many of its historic sites.
The 150th anniversary of John Brown's Raid (October 1859), widely recognized as the sesquicentennial kickoff, is now behind us.
This webpage is Civil War Traveler's effort to keep up with the websites created for the 150th anniversaries.
Above is the front page of our printed Civil War Traveler for 2009, featuring "John Brown, 150 Years After the Raid," by Dennis Frye. The text is available here.
The dramatic events in South Carolina in 1860 will be the subject of the 2010 edition of the printed Traveler (available Memorial Day).
Of course, we will list all related events in CivilWarTraveler.com/events and let you know about other programs in our monthly e-newsletter (subscribe, if you haven't already).
