  • Framingham & The Civil War

    Next year is the 150th anniversary of the beginning of the American Civil War.

    Framingham has many significant connections and contributions to The Civil War, from weaving wool for uniforms and blankets, to sending the most men per capita of any town in Massachusetts.

    The Battle Hymn of the Republic was first publically sung here at Plymouth Church.

    William Lloyd Garrison created a national uproar by burning the Constitution during a anti-slavery rally at Harmony Grove on Farm Pond.

    Dr. “Zab” Adams instituted the first triage “hospital” in the midst of a battlefield at Gettysburg.

    Various Framingham organizations will be planning a year long series of events. The Framingham History Center hosted a meeting to start pulling the organizations together and to create committees. It was great to see such a large turnout and to hear about some of the plans already underway.

    To get involved and find out about future meetings, contact Michelle McElroy at michelle@framinghamhistory.org.
