Join Benjamin Baughman, History Curator at the Ohio History Connection, as he gives an overview of Ohio’s participation in the American Civil War and highlights the soldiers, civilians and politicians from Ohio who fought to preserve the Union – and those who battled against it. From the Underground Railroad to the Great Locomotive Chase, learn more about the Buckeye State’s unique role in shaping the outcome of the war and discover the stories behind the Civil War era uniforms, weapons, and battle flags currently held in our collections.
