from JAMES GARFIELD Presidential Library website (National Parks site):
The next in our series of Major Battles of the Civil War at Mentor Public Library will be on Wednesday, March 14. March marks the 150th anniversary of the famous first-of-its-kind battle between two ironclad warships, the USS Monitor and the CSS Virginia (the latter rebuilt from the burned-out hull of the USS Merrimack). The principal confrontations took place on March 8 and March 9, 1862, off Sewell's Point, a narrow place near the mouth of Hampton Roads, Virginia.
These lunchtime programs are held at noon in the James R. Garfield room (bottom floor) at Mentor Library, conveniently located a few blocks east of our site! Each Battles program will last about an hour, intended to get you back to work on time!
