Upcoming Exhibits On The Edge of Battle: Chester County and The Civil War Opening October 2012 150 years ago our country was engulfed in turmoil. Battles for hearts and minds raged over union and secession, freedom and slavery. Chester County was not united in support for the Union or President Lincoln, and public meetings and rival newspapers fanned the flames of conflict. Experience the hopes, struggles, victories and losses of local men and women who lived during our nation's bloodiest war and see how their words and actions echo in our lives today.
Our deepest gratitude to the DNB First, Pennsylvania Humanities Council, The Dolfinger-McMahon Foundation, The Fox Chase Bank Charitable Foundation, The Haverford Trust Company, The Chester County Conference and Visitors Bureau Foundation, and Jimmy Duffy Catering for their support of our exhibit.
