SUMMARY:"Crossroads" Exhibit in Columbia
DESCRIPTION:The Marion County Museum will host Crossroads: Change in Rural America\, a Smithsonian traveling exhibition\, from March 27 through May 8. \nCrossroads is a traveling exhibit offered by the Museum on Main Street division of the Smithsonian Institution. It consists of six free-standing display units incorporating photographs\, text\, and numerous interactive elements. Requiring a minimum of 750 sq. ft.\, the exhibit is designed for smaller venues to achieve Museum on Main Street’s goal of bringing the Smithsonian to small town America. The exhibit is free and open to the public to visit. The Mississippi tour of Crossroads is sponsored by a generous grant from Entergy Mississippi. \nCrossroads: Change in Rural America offers small towns a chance to look at their own paths to highlight the changes that affected their fortunes over the past century. The exhibition will prompt discussions about what happened when America’s rural population became a minority of the country’s population and the ripple effects that occurred. \nIn addition to hosting the exhibition\, the Marion County Museum will also host a series of programs that are free and open to the public. \nCrossroads events in Columbia:\nApril 3\, 3pm: Columbia Main Street Historic Tour\nApril 3\, 5pm: City Cemetery Historic Tour\nApril 17\, 3pm: Lampton Rural Center Tour\nApril 30\, 8am:“From Snapshots to a Collage: Exploring Rural Mississippi Through Population Studies” presentation\, Dr. John Green

SUMMARY:SB: Forbidden\, Hidden and Forgotten: Women Soldiers of the Civil War
DESCRIPTION:Hundreds\, perhaps thousands\, of women boldly defied Victorian society norms when they disguised themselves as men\, shouldered muskets and joined the firing line in the American Civil War. As soldiers\, they participated in every major engagement from the beginning to the end of the war. Their wartime experiences and sacrifices mirrored those of their male counterparts. They serves picket duty along the snowy banks of the Rappahannock\, languished in Andersonville\, suffered debilitating wounds during the Wilderness\, succumbed to disease in New Orleans and lost their lives in Pickett’s Charge. Why did these women risk the shame that discovery would bring them and their families? Why did they risk their lives fighting a man’s war? Shelby Harriel’s presentation offers answers. In addition\, she presents the interactions of generals\, common soldiers and ordinary citizens with these women warriors. \nSpeakers Expertise: \nMs. Harriel has been a student of the Civil War since elementary school and has been researching women soldiers specifically since 2007. She has written several papers and articles\, appeared on a radio program in Wisconsin and presented at national parks and battlefields\, Civil War roundtable meetings and reenactments across the country.
