Civil War Days to be discussed

The Lake County Forest Preserve District board will hold a special Committee of the Whole meeting at 11 a.m., Monday, Aug. 5, at the Forest Preserves General Offices, 1899 W. Winchester Road, Libertyville. The focus of the meeting is Civil War Days in the context of the Lake County Forest Preserves education programming. The public is invited. The district, citing safety concerns, canceled the long-running event June 24. A subsequent investigation by the Lake County sheriff's office showed no evidence of criminal intent or credible threats.
