In collaboration with the Tennessee Civil War Sesquicentennial Commission, the Tennessee State Museum will present two days of special events during the state’s official kick-off of the 150th Commemoration of the Civil War.

 

The State Museum, which houses one of the largest and best Civil War collections in the nation, will host special tours on Friday, Nov. 12, showcasing the collection and providing visitors with an opportunity to hear little-known stories that accompany highlighted objects. During this time the famous and rarely seen large silk “Sons of Erin” flag, from Col. Randal McGavock's Company "F" of the 10th Tennessee Confederate Infantry Regiment, will be featured in a special three-day display. Bring a brown bag lunch and enjoy a mid-day presentation revealing the fascinating background behind the museum's collection of rare artifacts.

On Saturday, Nov. 13, a family activity area will feature educational programs and activities focusing on Civil War history for school age children. The museum will also present behind-the-scenes tours of Civil War objects stored in the archival rooms to a limited number of participants, on a first-come, first-served basis.
