Explore the Center’s compelling exhibit, Civil War and Reconstruction: The Battle for Freedom and Equality, as one of our museum educators leads viewers through the exhibit. Learn how constitutional clashes over slavery set the stage for the Civil War, and how the nation transformed the Constitution after the war during the Reconstruction period. Along the way, you’ll hear the stories of people central to the conflict over slavery and give you an up-close look at special artifacts on display. In honor of Juneteenth, June’s tour will also highlight the events of June 19, 1865, two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed and nearly five months after the 13th Amendment was passed (six months before it would be ratified), when enslaved people in Texas learned that they were free and that slavery in America had officially been abolished. Our Monthly Civil War & Reconstruction Tours made possible through the generosity of TD Bank.
