Civil War Events in Northern Illinois and Southern Wisconsin in July

This past month had a lot of Civil War-related events in this area.  July 8th, we had a presentation about the Illinois Andersonville, Georgia, monument at the McHenry County Civil War Round Table meeting in Woodstock.

That weekend, there was an Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) Re-enactment at Elkhorn, Wisconsin, with an encampment saluting both the GAR and Spanish-American War soldiers.

Then, Saturday and Sunday there was a huge Civil War Days encampment and battle in Lake County, Illinois, at the forest preserve in Wauconda.
