PVTHS Presents: The 135th Volunteer Infantry
Advertisement
Historian and Pickerington High alumnus Earl Nicodemus will discuss the incredible hardships faced by the 135th Ohio Volunteer Infantry during the American Civil War.
After training at Camp Chase, located in what is now Columbus’ Hilltop, the troops
comprised of National Guard units from Licking and Hardin counties—were deployed to West Virginia to guard a railroad. A surprise Confederate attack led to the
infantry’s capture. Many of the men would lose their lives, either during the insidious death march to the infamous Andersonville prison camp or while imprisoned there.
Note: The Fall Pickerington High School Art Exhibit will also be on display at the museum from 2-4 pm.
