Join us at the Williamstown Historical Museum on Saturday, May 30th at 10:00 a.m. for a compelling program on Hometown Heroes in the Civil War with author Dennis G. Pregent.
Drawing on twenty-seven vivid narratives of Berkshire County men who served in the Civil War, Pregent brings to life stories of infantrymen, surgeons, sailors, chaplains, and more through battles such as Antietam, Gettysburg, and Petersburg. The program highlights both extraordinary and everyday experiences, from Medal of Honor recipients to soldiers who endured imprisonment, disease, and unimaginable hardship.
This engaging talk is grounded in original documents and photographs and offers a powerful look at local lives shaped by national conflict.
