Richards Center Programs
Civil War Era Workshops
Each fall and spring the Richards Center sponsors a series of Civil War Era workshops for students and faculty. These workshops familiarize students with the research process by bringing senior scholars from around the country to Penn State to discuss their works in progress.
Battlefield Study Tours
Whether town or field, forest or swamp, Penn State's Battlefield Study Tours venture into every crevice of the Civil War. Begun in 1992, the battlefield tours are a joint venture of the Richards Civil War Era Center and the Penn State Alumni Association. With a tour each fall, the program has reached hundreds of adults interested in continuing their education and experiencing first-hand the landscape of the Civil War.
Brose Lecture Series
The Brose Distinguished Lecture Series was endowed by Steven and Janice Brose to encourage senior scholars to explore fresh ways of considering the Civil War era. Each speaker gives three different lectures around a theme over the course of three evenings.
