This is a day a call goes out for volunteers to come out to Civil War (and Revolutionary War) sites and work on a variety of projects.
Surprisingly, there are two Illinois sites as you usually don't think of the war being in Illinois.
** U.S. Grant Home in Galena. This is where he was living before the war and a grateful population presented him and Mrs. Grant with this home after the war.
Volunteers will rake the park and ready flower beds. Participants are asked to bring their own rakes.
Perhaps they will gaze on the statue of Mrs. Grant that looks so much like Mrs. Butterworth.
** General John A Logan Museum in Murphysburg. Volunteers will rake leaves and pick up fallen limbs and trash. Yard tools will be needed. A meal will be served.
Will Work for Food. --Old Secesh
