Join The Midland County Historical Society as they present the Civil War Veterans of Homer Township Cemetery Tour, located at the Homer Township Cemetery. In April of 1865, General Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia surrendered and laid down their arms at Appomattox, Virginia. Lee's surrender, 160 years ago, signaled the beginning of the end of the United States' Civil War.

Join us to hear the stories of men like Albyn Bellinger and John C. Sias, who fought in the war and then came to Homer Township to settle and build a life. The tour consists of costumed actors portraying veterans or veterans' family members at their gravesites. This event is a walking tour and is held rain or shine.
