Join us on Saturday April 20, 2024 as we celebrate Earth Day!
For this event, we're proud to partner with Duke University students to highlight how history & science can go hand-in-hand to teach us about the world around us. At 1pm, Duke graduate student Kalei Porter will lead a guided tour of the nature trail to explore how history and science meet.
FREE ADMISSION DAY!
The Civil War devastated both sides with blood on the battlefield and disease. Of the approximately 620,000 soldiers who died in the war, two-thirds of these deaths were not the result of enemy fire but of a force more potent than any army of men: disease. Join Andy Bennett to learn about Civil War medicine, including field wounds, procedures, and diseases.
The Clara Barton: Angel of the Battlefield Traveling Exhibit will also be on display on the mezzanine.
If you have any questions, please call 252-526-9600, ext. 221.
