Fairfield Civil War Celebration Kick Off Friday, April 22, 2011

The Historic Fairfield Inn is very excited to be a part of The 150th Commemoration of the Civil War and we are honored to be participating in this celebration.  Please join us as we take part in telling some of  the diverse stories of the many individuals who contributed to shape the Civil War in our area;  soldiers from the North and South, civilians, slaves and free men, those who opposed the War and those who supported it, as well as the untold numbers of  men and women who sacrificed so much for our Nation.  All of these people, whether we are consciously aware or not, have touched us in some way with their powerful legacies.  The Civil War did not just occur on battlefields, but in towns, farms and villages. 

You are cordially invited to join us at the Inn to mark this historic occasion.
