La Vieille Maison Announces their first event marking the upcoming Sesquicentennial (150^th ) Anniversary of the American Civil War

Linda Estupinan Snook, owner of La Vieille Maison des Livres in Mifflinburg will be hosting a monthly book discussion revolving around the role of women in the American Civil War. The club will be limited to members who have a burning passion to discuss women’s roles and contributions and social issues of the 1860s. The first meeting will take place on Saturday, February 6^th at 4:00 pm. Estupinan Snook believes that women’s roles and contributions have long been overlooked in conjunction with the Civil War and with the 150th anniversary being celebrated from 2011 to 2015 studying these contributions will greatly enhance the four year long remembrance. Women to be discussed include, but are not limited to, Mary Todd Lincoln, Varina Davis, Marie Brose Tepe, Captain Sallie Tompkins and others suggested by the members. Come and learn how far we have come and how long it took! Contact Linda at 570-966-5052. La Vieille Maison is located at 344 Chestnut Street in historic downtown Mifflinburg.
