The Civil War In Virginia exhibit opens today, Monday
August 27, 2012. Five
boxes arrived last Tuesday and we spent Thursday putting the panels
together. There are 5 large two sided
panels and 10 small pull up banners. It
was like putting large sleeping bags over frames. Come and see if you can figure out how we did
it. The panel exhibit has ten themes
that go beyond the experience of the soldier.
In addition to the panels there
are QR codes on several of the panels that will allow visitors to view
additional educational videos, 360-degree renderings of Civil War objects and
additional content.
Visitors are encouraged to enter a drawing for the box set
The Civil War Experience which contains the following set of books:
Hardtack and Coffee
by John D. Billings
Personal Memoirs of U.S.
Recollections and
Letters of General Robert E. Lee by his son Captain Robert E. Lee
From Manassas
to Appomattox
The winner will be drawn September 10th. Visit and enter as many times as you
like.
We will also have a picture from our local photograph collection
of a Confederate Reunion held in Harrisonburg
in 1933. Come and see if you can
identify anyone!
We hope to see you soon at the library.
