Special Exhibits:

Liberty on the Border: A Civil War Journey in Time
January 26 – September 7, 2008

Play with Civil War-era toys, and interact with the exhibits in Liberty on the Border: A Civil War Exhibit January 26 – May September 7, 2008 at the Southern Museum of Civil War and Locomotive History!

Through computer programs and interactive artifact reproductions, visitors explore the physical, cultural, ideological borders that contributed to the American Civil War.

By looking at the way borders were drawn and perceived before, during, and after the war, visitors develop a deeper comprehension of the different and sometimes contentious meanings of personal "liberty."

Using photographs and documents, touchable replicas and artifacts, backdrops and dioramas, hands-on interactives, audio visual effects, diaries, and music, this thought-provoking exhibit allows visitors to do their own "meaning-making" of the American Civil War.
Liberty On the Border: A Civil War Exhibit is a production of Cincinnati Museum Center.
