Civil War Nurse Clara Barton Visits The Nineteenth Century Charitable Association

On Monday, November 28, the Nineteenth Century Charitable Association presents actor and historian Leslie Goddard in "Clara Barton, Civil War Nurse." Clara Barton earned fame as the first woman to serve as a nurse on the front lines of a battlefield (and who later founded the American Red Cross). This first-person program introduces Barton as a courageous and tireless worker who faced remarkable challenges in her quest to care for wounded soldiers during the American Civil War. The program ($10.00 suggested donation) starts at 1:15 PM and will be followed by a tea.
