The Rowan Museum’s current exhibit, When We Fought Ourselves-1861-1865, which opened in April, is closing Jan. 22

This exhibit encourages people of all ages to come, learn and share their thoughts. We know what two of the men closest to the action thought, including General William Sherman: "War is cruelty. There is no use trying to reform it. The crueler it is, the sooner it will be over." Robert E. Lee summed up his feelings this way: "It is well that war is so terrible, else we should grow too fond of it."

At this exhibit you can walk past the arsenal, stand outside the Way-Side Hospital, protest with the women, walk in the shadow of the prison wall, and see what General Stoneman did during his raid on our community.

The Museum is located at 202 North Main Street. It is open Monday through Friday, 10 a.m.. to 4 p.m.., and Saturday and Sunday, 1-4 p.m.

For more information or to schedule group tours, call the Museum at 704-633-5946 or email rowanmuseum@carolina.rr.com
