The Yellow Springs Historical Society will explore the connection between a collection of fife music (still in use today) to which the Union soldiers marched and the Glen Forest Cemetery cannon in TOOTLE & BOOM!, a program on Sunday, August 6, at 2:00 pm at the site of the cannon in Glen Forest Cemetery. The program will combine a talk by Dave Neuhardt on Civil War era resident and fife music collector A. F. Hopkins with performances from the Hopkins collection by Tom Kuhn of Camp Chase Fifes and Drums, and the story of the G.A.R. cannon, followed by a short tour of grave sites of Civil War veterans.

For your comfort you are encouraged to wear walking shoes and bring a lawn chair, and in the case of rain the program (minus grave site tour) will be held in the Whitehall Farm barn.

The program is free and open to the public.
