In God's Presence: The Bible and Faith in the Civil War Era Seminar
2023-04-22 13:00 - 15:30 (America/Chicago) | Civil War Museum, 5400 1st Avenue, Kenosha, WI, 53140, United States
During this presentation, Dr. Noll will discuss the significance of the Bible in the American ethos prior to the Civil War as well as American Protestants’ “commonsense” interpreting of Scripture. Within this topic, Noll will also identify religion as the most important factor at work in pre-Civil War America and the theological and personal crises that occurred from different readings of “America’s Book” in the decades prior to the War.
Dr. Noll is a leading scholar on the history of Christianity in the United States. He recently retired as the Francis A. McAnaney Profesor of History at the University of Notre Dame, having previously served as Professor of History and Theological Studies at Wheaton College.
Dr. Noll is also the author of more than thirty books on the subject of religion including The Civil War as a Theological Crisis; In the Beginning Was the Word: the Bible in American Public Lie, 1492-1783, and America’s Book: The Rise and Decline of a Bible Civilization, 1794-1911.
Religion is what makes Soldiers Brave
2:30pm | Presented by: Reverend Robert Miller
Reverend Miller’s program explores why religions and faith are the most ignored topic in Civil War studies. Within that topic, he will introduce the “religious professionals” who “made God present” during the Civil War through religious revivals, services in camp, Bible study, and countless other works. Reverend Miller will also consider the response of soldiers to this work.
Rev. Robert Miller is a retired pastor and frequent speaker on religion in the Civil War. He served as President of the Chicago Civil War Round Table and is the author of Both Prayed to the Same God, and the forthcoming Faith of the Fathers – Catholic Civil War Chaplains.

The original Broadway production ran for over thirteen years and was nominated for nine Tony Awards, including Best Musical.
The classic story tells of Belle, a young woman in a provincial town, and the Beast, who is really a young prince trapped under the spell of an enchantress. If the Beast can learn to love and be loved, the curse will end and he will be transformed into his former self. But time is running out. If the Beast does not learn his lesson soon, he and his household will be doomed for all eternity.

Loyal to the Union: Ohio in the Civil War Exhibit
2023-04-17 - 2023-06-04 | Civil War Museum, 5400 1st Avenue, Kenosha, WI, 53140, United States
Explore the people and events that made the Buckeye state unique and so important to the Union cause.
Ohio joined the Union in 1803 as the 17th state, and was a major agricultural, economic, educational, and intellectual force in pre-Civil War America. At the time of the Civil War, Ohio was the oldest and most established state in the Upper Middle West.
It can be argued that no northern state was more important to the Union cause than Ohio. Its size, location, and its southern borders with Virginia and Kentucky made it geographically important. The Ohio River and a well-established network of railroads moved troops, food and supplies. Ohio contributed more soldiers per capita to the Union Army than any other northern state. Ohio’s location made it a major route for African American freedom seekers traveling to Canada. Five Ohioans who served in the Union Army went on to become president of the United States.
Closed holidays.

Meet the Author - M.P. McDonald
2023-04-14 17:00 - 19:00 | Studio Moonfall, 5031 7th Avenue, Kenosha, WI, 53140, United States
The Kenosha Book Festival is on its way so let’s get a sneak peek and meet some of our local authors.
All of Studio Moonfall’s Meet the Author events are free so come on down to 5031 7th Avenue and maybe you’ll find your next favorite book!
Our featured author for Friday, April 14th from 5pm to 7pm will be M.P. McDonald!
Check out the bio below and learn more at https://mpmcdonald.com
M.P. McDonald is the author of thrillers with a psychic twist and a reluctant hero, and post-apocalyptic fiction
centered around saving family. During the day she works as a respiratory therapist, where her first-hand experience with treating those with life-threatening illnesses and injuries gives her stories a realistic touch.
Her cat, Tigerheart, a strict taskmaster, keeps one paw resting (restraining?) on her shoulder to ensure the writing gets done in a timely fashion. She allows a few breaks, but only if M.P. shares her chips.
When not writing, M.P. can usually be found with her nose buried in a book, swimming in the pool if it’s not too cold (but since she lives in SE Wisconsin, it’s too cold most of the time!) or hanging out with family and friends.
