Civil War Wednesdays

You are cordially invited to accompany The Uniformed Historian at Spring Hill Cemetery on the evening of 19 Aug 2026 for a brief tour of select Civil War graves. This is the second cemetery walk in a series of scheduled mini-tours that last approximately an hour to an hour and a half on the third Wednesday of the month. Each presentation includes different memorials to ensure guests will hear multiple, differing accounts of battles, historic events, and people from all across the conflict.
Donny Jones, a Civil War living historian of 20+ years and a member of the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War, has dedicated most of his life to telling the stories of the men who donned blue and gray during our nation’s darkest hour. He travels the country presenting stories of the everyday Civil War soldier to schools, historic societies, churches, heritage organizations, and more.
