John Conway, Sullivan County Historian, presents Sullivan County's (Not So) Secret Civil War: While most of Sullivan County enthusiastically supported the Union cause during the Civil War, there was a very strong anti-Abraham Lincoln sentiment here, and a number of notable men were known to be Southern sympathizers, or copperheads, as they came to be called. County Historian John Conway discusses the manifestations of those sentiments, and how they sharply divided the village of Monticello. This program is being presented by the E.B. Crawford Public Library outside on the stage. You may bring your own chair. Masks are required as is social distancing and registration. Registration for the outside stage is limited to 50 people.
