New exhibition

The Maryland Historical Society’s (MdHS) Museum will open Maryland’s largest and most comprehensive Civil War exhibit on April 15. The impact of the war on the people of Maryland will be told in personal terms in “Divided Voices: Maryland in the Civil War.” The largest Civil War exhibit in the museum’s 167-year history will occupy over 5,000 square feet and tell the story of a tragedy in three acts: the romantic war, the real war and the long reunion. For more information on this 150th anniversary of the war exhibit go to www.mdhs.org or call 410-685-3750.

The exhibit will take visitors back in time. A “Time Tunnel” with 3-D videos will lead visitors back to 1861. There will also be interactive exhibits designed for children and adults as well as storyteller guides in period costumes. On Saturdays and Sundays the Maryland Historical Society Players will perform short vignettes of major events that took place in Maryland. Admission - $6 adults, $5 seniors, 3-18 $4, under 3 free. Museum is free on first Thursday of each month.

Thanks for the heads up. My mom lives in Arlington, VA. and I visit 2-3 times/year.

Just an hour away for me. I’ll go.
