“Mustering Memory: 160 Years of Saluting the Civil War” provides the often-overlooked history of how people have chosen and still choose to remember the Civil War. From the aged veterans who walked on the fields of Gettysburg for its 50th anniversary to modern enthusiasts who use their vacation time reliving famous battles or scouring Civil War antique shows, this exhibit offers context on where Civil War memory has been and insights for those interested in engaging with it today.

The exhibit will be open during regular museum hours, at least until April 15, 2023. Hours are available at rbhayes.org.
