The Making of Military Road

Presentation by Karen Meador, Military Road Historian

The Sesquicentennial (150th anniversary) of the Civil War may seem far removed from the Northwest, but in reality, there are many connections. In 1855, the Northwest itself had its own civil war between Native Americans and settlers. This resulted in military strategizing and positioning of military staff that had long-lasting consequences for the Northwest and the Civil War. Through maps, photos, and historical artifacts, Karen Meador will present a fascinating history of that is both illuminating and poignant.
