BETHEL — More than 30 people attended the Bethel Historical Society’s annual Women’s History Month program titled “Women Soldiers of the Civil War.”

The film and discussion were held in conjunction with “Local & Legendary: Maine in the Civil War,” a collaborative project of Gould Academy, the Bethel Library Association and the Bethel Historical Society.

As part of that project,” free Friday night screenings of thought-provoking Civil War films occur in April at Gould Academy’s Bingham Hall auditorium.

The following films will be presented: April 3, “Gettysburg;” April 10, “Glory;” April 17, “Ambrose Bierce: Civil War Stories;” April 24, “Cold Mountain.”
