The 2010 Conference was the 9th Midwest Civil War Civilian Conference.


Our conference speakers have included many of the top researchers in their respective fields and home-grown talent among our own membership -- and in some cases, those categories overlap! Past conference speakers have included Watchdog Editor Bill Christen, Jomarie Soszynski, Kay Gnagey, Seth Magosky, Henry Vincent, Sue Pfeiffer, Kathryn Coombs and Barbara Blair. Past topics have included "Achieving the period look on a budget", "Identifying Textiles of the mid 19th century", "Period Hairstyles and how to reproduce them", "Tips for Better First Person", "Taking the Cars: transportation in 19th century America", Men's civilian clothing, and talks on furniture, home furnishings, china and glassware of the era.
