Kicking off our celebration of the 150th Anniversary of the Civil War, this new temporary exhibition will focus on the interest in the area's Civil War battlefields that was created soon after the fighting stopped.  Included in the displays will be post war images of local battlefields, and photos of the monuments erected by veterans.  Early attempts at preservation, and documentation on local veterans' reunions will also be featured.  This exhibition will open in the Documents Gallery in the Catherine W. Jones McKann Center on March 1, 2010.  The objects in this exhibitions are generously loaned from the collection of Jerry and Lou Brent.

Be sure to visit the Catherine W. Jones McKann Center once it reopens March 1 to see this new exhibition.
