Historical Society Presents Governor William Buckingham Visits Milford

Governor William Buckingham, Connecticut's Civil War Governor, and his wife Eliza Buckingham will be visiting the Milford Historical Society in the Dodd Hall of the Mary Taylor Memorial Church.

A relative of the Governor's is a minister in Milford, Conn. and it is through this connection that the Governor will be able to meet with the good people of Milford on his way to Washington, D.C.

The Governor will be portrayed by Mr. Richard Silocka, who has over 45 years experience as a re-enactor. Mr. and Mrs Silocka are well known educators in the New Haven area.

We are still enjoying the 150 year anniversary of the American Civil War; Find out why this Governor was so important to President Lincoln and the Union cause.

Free and open to the public ~ refreshments will be served.
