The Arkansas Civil War Sesquicentennial Commission, in cooperation with the Old State House Museum and the Arkansas Humanities Council, offers "Civil War Arkansas, 1861-1865", a traveling exhibit about the state's involvement in the war. The exhibit will visit cities all over the state between 2011 and 2015 to share information about Arkansas's Civil War heritage.
The ACWSC created the text and located the images for the exhibit, the Old State House Museum designed and built it and the Arkansas Humanities Council is in charge of its distribution. There is no charge to visit the exhibit.
