Coming Soon! Maine Voices from the Civil War

Maine State Museum staff are working hard during the final months of preparation for the newest museum exhibition, Maine Voices from the Civil War, set to open on June 29.

The exhibit will feature over 70 objects from the museum's collection, as well as many images and graphics that tell the stories of Mainers at home and or on the war's distant battlefields.
