On Saturday, August 27, 2016, Kennesaw State University's College of Continuing and Professional Education sponsored a trip the National Civil War Naval Museum in Columbus, Georgia. Civil War historian and instructor Michael K. Shaffer suggested the tour as a capstone to the recently completed course on Civil War naval operations at KSU. Twenty-five students, along with others from the Atlanta area participated, and museum curator Jeff Seymour provided an excellent overview of the museum. The next Civil War course, on technology during the conflict, starts September 13, 2016, at the KSU Center.
