SUMMARY:A Special Program with Wayne E. Motts: Brigadier General George Sears Greene: Soldier\, Engineer\, Visionary
DESCRIPTION:A Special Program with Wayne E. Motts: Brigadier General George Sears Greene: Soldier\, Engineer\, Visionary.\nJoin us on March 14\, 2026 | 11:00 AM. The Camp Curtin Historical Society/Civil War Round Table and The National Civil War Museum proudly present a special program featuring Wayne E. Motts\, CEO of The National Civil War Museum. This program is Free and open to the public. Regular Museum admission applies for entrance to the NCWM Galleries. \nMr. Motts will deliver an in-depth presentation on the life and legacy of Brigadier General George Sears Greene—one of the Civil War’s most remarkable\, yet often overlooked\, leaders. \n\nA Rare Artifact on Display\nAs a special highlight of the program\, Brigadier General Greene’s original jacket\, preserved in the collection of The National Civil War Museum\, will be on display during the event. \nFollowing the presentation\, the Camp Curtin Historical Society will unveil a newly installed wayside marker at Reservoir Park\, enhancing interpretation of the park’s important role in Harrisburg’s Civil War history. \n\nAbout George Sears Greene\nThough best known for his brigade’s steadfast defense of Culp’s Hill at the Battle of Gettysburg\, Greene’s contributions extended far beyond the battlefield. \nBefore and after the war\, he enjoyed a distinguished career as a civil engineer. Greene was a co-founder of the American Society of Civil Engineers and Architects\, helping to shape professional standards and leaving a lasting imprint on the nation’s infrastructure. \nHis life bridges two defining chapters of 19th-century America: the struggle to preserve the Union and the engineering innovations that built a modern nation. \n\nAbout the Speaker\nWayne E. Motts serves as CEO of The National Civil War Museum. A licensed battlefield guide at Gettysburg National Military Park for 38 years\, he is also the author of “To Gain a Second Star: The Forgotten George S. Greene” (Gettysburg Magazine\, July 1990). \n\nJoin us for this engaging and educational program as we honor a man whose leadership at Gettysburg—and achievements beyond it—deserve renewed recognition. \nWe look forward to welcoming you on March 14.
