Event Hall - Castle Pines

More than 150 years after the end of the American Civil War, its impact continues to shape our nation.

Join Active Minds for an insightful exploration of the political, economic, and social forces that led to the conflict—and the profound changes that followed in its wake.

Rather than focusing on battlefield strategy, this program examines the deeper roots of the war and the lasting effects of Reconstruction, constitutional amendments, and a transformed national identity. Perfect for lifelong learners interested in understanding how the Civil War reshaped the United States.
