Join us for our first History Happy Hour of the season!

The Seattle Civil War Veterans Reinterment Project

 In 2024, the Missing in America Project identified the cremated remains of more than two dozen unclaimed Civil War veterans and their spouses at a funeral home in Seattle, Washington. Working with the project, local historian Richard Heisler played a leading role in the yearslong effort to identify, memorialize, and reinter these 28 men and 31 women, eulogized by former Pulitzer Prize finalist Brian Matthew Jordan. Join Codie Eash, SRMEC Director of Education and Interpretation, as he holds a conversation with Heisler and Jordan to discuss one of the largest collections of Civil War burials to have occurred in at least 150 years.
