Civil War Days relived at Highland Middle School

Civil war has erupted at Highland Middle School — sort of. Re-enactors from the 121st Ohio Volunteer Infantry, based in Marion — and commanded by Mount Vernon resident Henry Banning during the war between the states — visited the school Tuesday for a daylong series of presentations and hands-on activities about the Civil War. The Civil War is part of Ohio’s eighth-grade history standards.
