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.

SUMMARY:Lessons in History: Preserving the Past - The Conservation of Katherine Wilson Curtin’s Dress - In Person
DESCRIPTION:Lessons in History: Preserving the Past — The Conservation of Katherine Wilson Curtin’s DressSaturday\, March 21 | 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM \nThe National Civil War Museum is proud to present our March Lessons in History program exploring the remarkable conservation of a rare garment belonging to Katherine Wilson Curtin\, wife of Pennsylvania’s Civil War Governor Andrew Curtin. Representatives from the Daughters of Veterans of the Civil War\, 1861-1865\, Katherine Wilson Curtin tent will discuss their conservation efforts. \nThis elegant French-made purple velvet and silk dress\, dating to the late nineteenth century\, offers a rare and intimate glimpse into the personal life of one of Pennsylvania’s most important wartime families. More than a beautiful artifact\, the dress tells a story of status\, mourning customs\, craftsmanship\, and the social world surrounding the Commonwealth’s wartime leadership. \nDuring this program\, guests will learn how historians and textile conservators stabilized and preserved the fragile garment so it could safely be exhibited and studied for future generations. The presentation will examine the challenges of conserving historic clothing\, the techniques used to protect delicate fabrics\, and what such artifacts reveal about the people who lived through and shaped the Civil War era. \nJoin us as we look beyond the battlefield and into the domestic and social history of the Civil War through one extraordinary piece of material culture. \nFree public lecture. Regular Museum admission applies for gallery access. \nCentre County Historical Society KWC Dress article Winter 2025
