The Pennsylvania Civil War 150 Road Show is a traveling exhibition housed in an
expandable 53-foot tractor-trailer created for Pennsylvania residents and visitors
of all ages. From 2011 to 2014, it will travel throughout the Commonwealth (making
stops in all 67 counties) bringing its interactive exhibits to each host location.
Visitors will also experience related programs and performances under a Civil War-era
tent.
No corner of the state was untouched by the Civil War. Through images, sound, words,
objects and interactive multimedia, the Road Show will convey stories of the many
different ways Pennsylvania’s men, women, children and communities experienced
the Civil War, both on the battlefield and the home front.
