The 1876 Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia had a major exhibit dedicated to Ellsworth.
Ellsworth, Michingan, Ellsworth, Wisconsin and possibly Ellsworth, Iowa are named for him.
Also, Fort Ellsworth, a timber and earthen fortification in Alexandria, Virginia, part of the Civil War defenses of Washington, D.C., also was named for him.

This blog grew out of my "Down Da Road I Go Blog," which was originally to be about stuff I was interested in, music and what I was doing. There was so much history and Civil War entries, I spun two more off. Starting Jan. 1, 2012, I will be spinning a Naval blog off this one called "Running the Blockade."
