Über diesen Titel

In 1864, Union League members helped lead Philadelphia’s Great Central Fair, a massive Sanitary Commission fundraiser held on Logan Square to improve conditions for Union soldiers and raise money for medical supplies. Featuring elaborate pavilions, nearly thirty themed departments, and unprecedented leadership roles for women, the fair raised over $1 million and became one of the most important civic events of the Civil War, laying groundwork for the city’s Centennial Exhibition in 1876.
