Discovering the Civil War - Part Two: Consequences
On view at the National Archives
Constitution Avenue, NW
On view at the National Archives
November 10th - April 17th
Free
Take a fresh look at the Civil War through little-known stories, seldom-seen documents, and unusual perspectives. This exhibition is unconventional in every way. It combines these great treasures with engaging and interactive touch-screens, incorporating social media tools in a physical environment inspired by 21st Century research rooms. Rather than trying to recreate 1860, these interactives let visitors see the war through the lens of 2010 technology.
Visitors have the chance to join researchers in unlocking secrets, solving mysteries, and uncovering unexpected events in Civil War records of the National Archives. The exhibition features letters, diaries, photos, maps, petitions, receipts, patents, amendments, and proclamations.
