From the Telegraph Lines of Wooster to the War Department: Major Thomas Eckert In-Person
Join us for an inspiring presentation by Gerald Payn on Thomas Eckert, a Wooster native whose fascination with telegraphy led him to play a crucial role in the Civil War.

Don’t miss this chance to learn about a true Wooster hero!
