An American Turning Point: The Civil War in Virginia—a 1,000-square-foot traveling panel exhibition comprised of images and interpretive text—explores the people and communities affected by the greatest turmoil to happen on American soil. The exhibition, which allows the people of the past to speak for themselves, will appear at the Petersburg Public Library free of charge from November 10 to November 24. The Library hours are: Monday – Friday, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.; Saturdays, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The exhibition is designed to appeal to a broad audience by giving voice to previously marginalized participants—free and enslaved African Americans, Unionists, women, and children. By presenting real stories about real people representing a variety of perspectives, it shows how civil war disrupts society and is experienced by more than just soldiers.
