A cornerstone of the commemoration, www.PACivilWar150.com is a comprehensive Web site containing an interactive timeline, a statewide events calendar and many in-depth stories recounting the experiences of real Pennsylvanians during the Civil War.
Virginia Sesquicentennial Commemoration of the American Civil War
The General Assembly of Virginia created the Virginia Sesquicentennial of the American Civil War Commission in 2006 (HB 1440) to prepare for and commemorate the sesquicentennial of Virginia's participation in the American Civil War.
The 150th anniversary of the American Civil War is upon us. The Civil War sesquicentennial (2011-2015) provides a fresh opportunity for a new generation to rediscover the many ways in which Ohioans played a key role in the war and in which the war - "this mighty scourge," as Lincoln described it - changed life in Ohio. The Civil War story in Ohio touches almost every community in the state, and this website is a place for those interested in its vast and fascinating history to come together around the anniversary of that time period.
