In conjunction with the Civil War Cavalry Conference, the exhibition, Hoofbeats in the Heartland: Civil War Cavalry in Tennessee, will be on display. This traveling exhibition was organized by the Tennessee State Museum and funded in part by the Tennessee Civil War National Heritage Area to explore the development and impact of mounted warfare in Tennessee during the Civil War. Tennessee's strategic location indicated that the state would be the major battleground of the Western Theater. As both sides maneuvered, raided, fought, and occupied the state, nearly every community experienced the heavy hand of war. While few communities witnessed large battles, nearly every community experienced soldiers on horseback as part of a raiding force, occupying army, or as members of the numerous guerrilla or partisan bands. Come experience this enlightening exhibition and learn more about mounted warfare in Tennessee.
