👗 Step back in time to the Civil War era with Julia Dent Grant as she shares her extraordinary life story. On Friday, September 5, 2025, at Noon ET, join us for a virtual first-person performance that brings First Lady Julia Grant to life. Experience her remarkable journey as she navigated the challenges of her husband's rise to become the Commanding General of the U.S. Army, faced the trials of raising four children during the Civil War, and lived through one of the most turbulent periods in American history.

Julia Grant, the wife of General Ulysses S. Grant, witnessed major battles, narrowly escaped an assassination plot, and stood by her husband’s side during the volatile years of Reconstruction. Don’t miss the chance to hear her story in her own words as she takes us through her life, struggles, and triumphs, and answers questions from the audience.
