Getting ready for this year’s July 4th holiday and curious about how Americans celebrated their national anniversary during the Civil War era, when their nation was falling apart?

Stop by Blacksburg Public Library any time between 3 and 5 pm to chat with the project team and try your hand at transcribing, tagging, and more.
