May 4, 2024 at 2:00 PM Contrasts in Command: The Battle of Fair Oaks, May 31 – June 1,2024
Surprisingly little has been written about the key Battle of Fair Oaks
The bloody two-day affair, fought on the doorstep of the Confederate capital, was the first major battle in the Eastern Theater since Bull Run.
At the head of the Confederate army was Gen. Joseph E. Johnston, and as fate intervened late in the day on May 31st,
one of the men who would lay gravely wounded was General Johnston.
His replacement would be Gen. Robert E. Lee – a decision that changed the course of the entire war.
Museum doors will open at 1:00 pm
First Saturdays at the Museum and Lincoln Kids & Families are brought to you by the Friends of the Lincoln Depot Museum
The Lincoln Depot Museum is located at 10 S Water Street in Peekskill, NY,
