Workshop -“Civil War Artifacts: Up-Close & Personal” November 7, 2009

Get an exclusive look at some of the objects in the Frazier Museum’s impressive Civil War collection. Learn how curators care for museum objects, as you put on the gloves and handle artifacts not normally on public display. The artifacts, several of which were use by Kentuckians, include a Union side drum, military uniforms and firearms used on both sides of the conflict. Discover the stories behind these authentic, historical objects. This course is held at the Frazier International History Museum on Main Street. All materials will be provided.
Cost for this workshop is $49 prior to October 30, and $59 after October 30.
