Services:  CWS was established for students to explore their interests in the American Civil War. The club’s focus is to promote the members’ interests and to bring awareness of the Civil War to UMF and the community by means of guest speakers, field trips, movies and re-enacting/living history. With living history, members can actually experience the lives of Civil War combatants and civilians. The club has formed the 2nd Maine Infantry re-enactment group in which we portray Union infantry at re-enacting events, but "impressions" from any aspect of the war (Confederate, civilians, etc) are always welcomed and encouraged. No experience in history in needed, only genuine enthusiasm to learn and to share an interest with other students. Every other Thursday at 7 p.m. Next to CR 123, Student Center.
