Liberty on the Border: A Civil War Journey In Time Exhibit

Interactive exhibits, hands-on replicas, artifacts and engaging audio-visual displays will give Southern Museum visitors a deeper understanding of the issues surrounding the Civil War in a new exhibition, Liberty on the Border, opening January 26.

“This exhibition really inspires visitors to connect with that era through computer games and items they can actually touch and feel,” explained Southern Museum Curator Mike Bearrow. “It delves into the political and cultural issues of the time, such as slavery.”

The innovative exhibit allows visitors to experience the Civil War through the concept of borders – physical, cultural and ideological. Visitors explore how borders changed during the years leading up to and through the war, as well as learning about the lasting impact the Civil War had on today’s United States.

The importance of personal liberty is also on display in this thought-provoking exhibition from the Cincinnati Museum Center. Liberty on the Border is divided into three sections: Liberty Denied, Liberty’s Trial and Liberty’s Legacy.

The exhibition will be on display through September 7.

A production of the Cincinnati Museum Center.

Free with museum admission.
