A traveling history exhibit developed by the West Virginia Humanities Council has arrived in Shepherdstown. The Born of Rebellion exhibit uses excerpts from diaries, quotes and recollected experiences of civilians and soldiers during the Civil War to recount the story of West Virginia’s origin as a new state. Shepherd University’s George Tyler Moore Center for the Study of the Civil War will host the exhibit in the rotunda of the Robert C. Byrd Center for Congressional History and Education (213 North King Street, Shepherdstown).
The exhibit will be at Shepherd University from July 12 through September 29, 2024. The exhibit is free and open to the public weekdays from 9 am to 5 pm. For more information about the traveling exhibit, visit WVhumanities.org.
