This summer, commemorate the sesquicentennial of the American Civil War with a visit to The Henry Ford, America’s Greatest History Attraction.
Discovering the Civil War exhibition
The most extensive exhibition ever assembled from the National Archives’ incomparable Civil War holdings is being shown in its entirety for the first time ever at Henry Ford Museum, May 21 – Sept 5.
Discovering the Civil War combines great original treasures and engaging touch-screen interactives in a physical environment inspired by 21st-century research rooms. Letters, diaries, photos, maps, petitions, receipts, patents, amendments and proclamations all become powerful tools to let visitors take a fresh look at a conflict that continues to loom large in our national consciousness.
