Author Bennett Parten is visiting Lancaster to speak to the CWRT. His new book, "Somewhere Toward Freedom," tells the incredible story of General Sherman's "March to the Sea" from the perspective of the enslaved people who followed his army.
As many as 20,000 slaves self-emancipated to join in the march. They faced their own unique hardships, struggles and victories. Their knowledge, contributions and abilities help the army complete its goals - even though they weren't welcomed by everyone.
His discussion will be followed by a book signing. Books will be available for purchase at the event.
*Accessibility Note: There is a rear entrance to the church so that guests do not have to climb the steps on Walnut Street. HOWEVER, Allen Chapel does NOT have handicap access to the chapel. Guests will have to climb a flight of stairs. For those wanting to see the program but are unable to attend, it will be live-streamed. Information on watching the broadcast will be made available prior to the event.

It's time for the 3rd annual Bourbon at Sherman's fundraiser!
Join us on September 19th in the beautiful gardens of the Sherman House Museum for an unforgettable evening of bourbon tasting, curated by Matt Brady and Matt Claypool. Guests will enjoy a selection of finely chosen bourbons while supporting local history in one of Lancaster’s most iconic historic settings.
The evening will also feature both a silent and live auction of unique, bourbon-themed items — including exclusive, one-of-a-kind creations by the Sherman House’s own irreverent director, Michael Johnson. These custom pieces, infused with Johnson’s signature wit and historical flair, will never be available in the museum gift shop, making them true collector’s items.
Don’t miss your chance to sip, bid, and support history.
Proceeds benefit the Sherman House, Georgian Museum and FCHA. FCHA is a 501c3 and does not receive any local, state or federal tax dollars. We rely solely on you to help us preserve our local history and these two amazing museums!
