Final day Jan. 29!
The Hayes Presidential Center's exhibit commemorating the 150th anniversary of the Civil War.
Civil War: Battlefield & Homefront is in its final month. Plan now to view this incredible record of Ohioans who lived through the war years. Final day is January 29!

As the exhibit's title implies, Civil War: Battlefield & Homefront relates the war experiences of both soldiers and civilains. Histories of the war rarely delve into the hardships endured by the wives, daughters, mothers, and men who were not on the front lines. Personal letters and artifacts from such individuals shed new light on the far-reaching toll of the war. Many items included in the exhibition never have been on display before. They are on loan from the L.M. Strayer Collection.

Civil War: Battlefield & Homefront is on display in the Hayes Museum 9 am-5 pm Tuesday-Saturday and noon-5 pm Sunday. Admission to the Museum is $7.50/adult, $6.50 senior citizen (age 60+), and $3.00 children ages 6-12.
