When war called the men of Northern Kentucky and Cincinnati to the frontlines, it was women who kept their communities running. They stepped into critical roles, serving as nurses, volunteers and writers, while also maintaining farms, businesses and homes.
Women worked in munitions factories, hosted charitable events like the Great Western Sanitary Fair and grew crops to feed soldiers. These remarkable contributions were pivotal to sustaining the Union’s efforts during the Civil War.
Join historian Paul Tenkotte on Tuesday, January 28 at 6:30 p.m. for an inspiring NKY History Hour presentation, “Reviving Lost Voices: Women in Civil War Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky.” This engaging virtual program, presented by Behringer-Crawford Museum, will explore the courage, resilience and ingenuity of these often-overlooked figures who shaped our region’s history.
