Thanks to a grant from the Illinois Prairie Community Foundation, the Warner Library had their civil war archives digitized.

Director Bobbi Perryman says the Civil War archives include first-hand accounts of the war from DeWitt County veterans. It also includes a following of a regime from DeWitt County.

You can check out the digitization of the archives at the library's website at vwarner.org. Perryman says because of these documents age and hard to read handwriting, it will be difficult to make out everything they say.
