Kent Civil War Society turns 30 and resumes meetings after Covid hiatus

- Wendy DiAlesandro

Kent’s Civil War Society is back in action after a Covid hiatus of over a year. The group, celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, is looking forward to its second in-person meeting Oct. 12 at the Roy Smith Shelter House in Fred Fuller Park.

This month’s meeting featured a National Park Service video, “Manassas: The End of Innocence.” There was also a five-item silent auction of books, videos, prints, bullets and other objects recently donated to the group. A portion of the proceeds were donated to battlefield preservation and education.
