Sesquicentennial Panel Exhibit Available
In commemoration of the 150th Anniversary of the start of the Civil War, the Civil War Museum has created a special six-panel exhibit entitled, 1861: The Upper Middle West's Civil War. Each 36"x24" panel (available individually or as a group) tells the story of one of the six states of the Upper Midwest during the first year of the war. Perfect for libraries, schools, museums, and historical societies, each panel uses period newspaper accounts, photographs, letters, and drawings to tell the state's story.
