Since 2014 the Andrew Carnegie Free Library & Music Hall, and the Captain Thomas Espy Post, have brought more than seventy-five Civil War historians here to Carnegie to speak in the Lincoln Gallery as part of our 2nd Saturday Civil War Lecture Series. These lectures are free and open to the public, and are held on the second Saturday of each month, from January – June, and September – November. We invite our community, our patrons, and all Civil War enthusiasts from the greater Pittsburgh area to attend these events…
The 2nd Saturday Lecture Series is made possible by the Massey Charitable Trust.
For more information please contact Espy Post Curator, Jon-Erik Gilot, at gilotj@einetwork.net.
