FCMA's Spring/Summer Lunch & Learn
Discovering the Magic of Primary Documents
Saturday, June 5th from 12:00 to 2:00 pm

The Fort Caspar Museum Association is pleased to resume in-person activities at the Museum with a Lunch & Learn program on Saturday, June 5, 2021.  Join us for “Discovering the Magic of Primary Documents” with Steve Dacus.

A self-described “non-historian” and Civil War enthusiast, Dacus is the founder of the 11th Ohio Volunteer Library, an online, non-profit organization dedicated to helping lay people like himself with an interest in history gain access to primary research materials from the Civil War era.  Learn how he is digitizing original and one-of-a-kind items such as photographs, hand-written letters, and rare books from bygone days and making them easily accessible to people everywhere through his new online platform: researcharsenal.com.

The optional lunch will be served at 12:00 pm, followed by the lecture at 1:00 pm.  Reservations are required for the lunch and must be made by June 3rd (call 307-235-8462). 

The cost for lunch is $5 for FCMA members and $8 for non-members; the lecture is free with paid lunch or free with paid Museum admission.  Lunch will feature fried chicken, sides, rolls, desserts, and beverages. 

The lunch will be served cafeteria style to reduce contact with serving utensils.  When not eating, face coverings are encouraged (not required), but social distancing will be difficult to achieve.  Please do what you feel is safe for yourself and others.
