We look forward to welcoming you to Cavan town for an educational and entertaining event commemorating Cavan and the American Civil War. The full programme is now available on the Cavan Libraries website.

The American Civil War was fought between April 1861 and May 1865 and upwards of 200,000 Irishmen took part in the conflict. This summer we remember those who took part in the American Civil War which is Ireland's great forgotten war.
