SUMMARY:Special Exhibition - "War on Our Doorsteps"
DESCRIPTION:When Alexander Gardner’s stunning photographs of the Antietam battlefield were publicly displayed in 1862\, they changed how Americans saw war forever. For a limited time\, you can relive that sobering exhibition at the Clara Barton Missing Soldiers Office. \nA photograph captured in the aftermath of the Battle of Antietam by Alexander Gardner. (LOC) \n“Bringing the War to Our Doorsteps” is a temporary installation restaging the exhibition of Alexander Gardner’s photographs taken at Antietam in September 1862. It is a rare chance for visitors to experience what viewers did more than 155 years ago as the Civil War raged. \nDisplay prints have been made to the same dimensions and style of the originals from high-definition digital files made available by the Library of Congress. To enhance the visitor’s experience\, there will be a 3-D theatre to view the photos\, which were shot with stereoscopic cameras\, in the way they were originally intended. Its purpose is to explore the evolving view of war-time photography from the Civil War to today and how modern media has contributed to American attitudes about armed conflict. The exhibition has been extended through November 3\, 2018. \nIt is staged throughout the Missing Soldiers Office Museum\, a space where Clara Barton lived and worked during the Civil War era. From her boardinghouse\, she founded the Missing Soldiers Office and assisted thousands of grieving families in the search for their missing loved ones at the conclusion of our nation’s bloodiest conflict. \n“It is not [for viewers] to bear witness to the fidelity of views which the truthful sunbeam has delineated in all their dread reality\,” wrote Oliver Wendell Holmes\, Sr. after viewing the original exhibition in New York City in 1862. “The sight of these pictures is a commentary on civilization such as the savage might well triumph to show its missionaries.” \nVisiting the exhibition is included with admission to the Clara Barton Missing Soldiers Office Museum and is free for Museum members. The exhibition will be on display until November 3\, 2018 and will be available during normal operating hours (11:00am – 5:00pm\, Thurs-Sat) and by appointment. Contact Director of Programming Katie Reichard for more information about appointments and group visits: katie.reichard@civilwarmed.org or 301-695-1864. \nIn addition to the exhibition’s extension\, the creator of “Bringing the War to Our Doorsteps\,” Bob Kozak\, will be speaking about the photographs at the Clara Barton Missing Soldiers Office on October 4. It is an exploration of how American society portrayed death at the start of the Civil War\, how these photos were received in 1862\, and how the coverage of war has evolved since the publication of Gardner’s images into the present day. \nFor more information about the exhibition\, contact Jake Wynn at jake.wynn@civilwarmed.org.

DESCRIPTION:When Alexander Gardner’s stunning photographs of the Antietam battlefield were publicly displayed in 1862\, they changed how Americans saw war forever. For a limited time\, you can relive that sobering exhibition at the Clara Barton Missing Soldiers Office. \nA photograph captured in the aftermath of the Battle of Antietam by Alexander Gardner. (LOC) \n“Bringing the War to Our Doorsteps” is a temporary installation restaging the exhibition of Alexander Gardner’s photographs taken at Antietam in September 1862. It is a rare chance for visitors to experience what viewers did more than 155 years ago as the Civil War raged. \nDisplay prints have been made to the same dimensions and style of the originals from high-definition digital files made available by the Library of Congress. To enhance the visitor’s experience\, there will be a 3-D theatre to view the photos\, which were shot with stereoscopic cameras\, in the way they were originally intended. Its purpose is to explore the evolving view of war-time photography from the Civil War to today and how modern media has contributed to American attitudes about armed conflict. The exhibition has been extended through November 3\, 2018. \nIt is staged throughout the Missing Soldiers Office Museum\, a space where Clara Barton lived and worked during the Civil War era. From her boardinghouse\, she founded the Missing Soldiers Office and assisted thousands of grieving families in the search for their missing loved ones at the conclusion of our nation’s bloodiest conflict. \n“It is not [for viewers] to bear witness to the fidelity of views which the truthful sunbeam has delineated in all their dread reality\,” wrote Oliver Wendell Holmes\, Sr. after viewing the original exhibition in New York City in 1862. “The sight of these pictures is a commentary on civilization such as the savage might well triumph to show its missionaries.” \nVisiting the exhibition is included with admission to the Clara Barton Missing Soldiers Office Museum and is free for Museum members. The exhibition will be on display until November 3\, 2018 and will be available during normal operating hours (11:00am – 5:00pm\, Thurs-Sat) and by appointment. Contact Director of Programming Katie Reichard for more information about appointments and group visits: katie.reichard@civilwarmed.org or 301-695-1864. \nIn addition to the exhibition’s extension\, the creator of “Bringing the War to Our Doorsteps\,” Bob Kozak\, will be speaking about the photographs at the Clara Barton Missing Soldiers Office on October 4. It is an exploration of how American society portrayed death at the start of the Civil War\, how these photos were received in 1862\, and how the coverage of war has evolved since the publication of Gardner’s images into the present day. \nFor more information about the exhibition\, contact Jake Wynn at jake.wynn@civilwarmed.org.

SUMMARY:"The Capital Can't Be Taken!" - The Civil War Defenses of Washington
DESCRIPTION:Discover how Washington went from a defenseless capital to the most fortified city in the world. \nUnion troops posing by Fort Stevens \nAt the beginning of the Civil War in 1861\, there were no forts\, earthworks\, or other defenses to be found; the Union capital was incredibly vulnerable to Confederate attack. By 1865\, Washington D.C. was one of the most heavily fortified places in the world. As the nerve center of the Union war effort\, the Federal government and the U.S. Army allocated tremendous resources to the capital’s safety during the Civil War. Join Ranger Steve T. Phan (NPS) to learn how the Defenses of Washington evolved over the war. \nSteve T. Phan is a Park Ranger and historian at the Civil War Defenses of Washington. A military history scholar of the Civil War era\, Steve’s research focuses on military occupation\, operational command\, fortifications\, and the Western Theater during the Civil War. He holds a Masters degree in American History\, with a concentration in Public History. \nThis is a pay-what-you-please program.

(LOC) \n“Bringing the War to Our Doorsteps” is a temporary installation restaging the exhibition of Alexander Gardner’s photographs taken at Antietam in September 1862. It is a rare chance for visitors to experience what viewers did more than 155 years ago as the Civil War raged. \nDisplay prints have been made to the same dimensions and style of the originals from high-definition digital files made available by the Library of Congress. To enhance the visitor’s experience\, there will be a 3-D theatre to view the photos\, which were shot with stereoscopic cameras\, in the way they were originally intended. Its purpose is to explore the evolving view of war-time photography from the Civil War to today and how modern media has contributed to American attitudes about armed conflict. The exhibition has been extended through November 3\, 2018. \nIt is staged throughout the Missing Soldiers Office Museum\, a space where Clara Barton lived and worked during the Civil War era. From her boardinghouse\, she founded the Missing Soldiers Office and assisted thousands of grieving families in the search for their missing loved ones at the conclusion of our nation’s bloodiest conflict. \n“It is not [for viewers] to bear witness to the fidelity of views which the truthful sunbeam has delineated in all their dread reality\,” wrote Oliver Wendell Holmes\, Sr. after viewing the original exhibition in New York City in 1862. “The sight of these pictures is a commentary on civilization such as the savage might well triumph to show its missionaries.” \nVisiting the exhibition is included with admission to the Clara Barton Missing Soldiers Office Museum and is free for Museum members. The exhibition will be on display until November 3\, 2018 and will be available during normal operating hours (11:00am – 5:00pm\, Thurs-Sat) and by appointment. Contact Director of Programming Katie Reichard for more information about appointments and group visits: katie.reichard@civilwarmed.org or 301-695-1864. \nIn addition to the exhibition’s extension\, the creator of “Bringing the War to Our Doorsteps\,” Bob Kozak\, will be speaking about the photographs at the Clara Barton Missing Soldiers Office on October 4. It is an exploration of how American society portrayed death at the start of the Civil War\, how these photos were received in 1862\, and how the coverage of war has evolved since the publication of Gardner’s images into the present day. \nFor more information about the exhibition\, contact Jake Wynn at jake.wynn@civilwarmed.org.

SUMMARY:Special Exhibition - "The Dead of Antietam"
DESCRIPTION:When Alexander Gardner’s stunning photographs of the Antietam battlefield were publicly displayed in 1862\, they changed how Americans saw war forever. For a limited time\, you can relive that sobering exhibition at the Clara Barton Missing Soldiers Office. \nA photograph captured in the aftermath of the Battle of Antietam by Alexander Gardner. (LOC) \nOn March 1\, 2018\, the acclaimed exhibition “The Dead of Antietam” will return to the Clara Barton Missing Soldiers Office in Washington\, DC. The exhibit recreates and explores the original photographs taken in the days after the bloodiest day in American history\, the Battle of Antietam\, on September 17\, 1862. When the photographs were first publicly displayed by Mathew Brady in New York in 1862\, they shocked a nation and showed the true nature of warfare – the anonymous dead laying row upon row on an American landscape. \n“Mr. Brady has done something to bring home to us the terrible reality and earnestness of war\,” wrote the New York Times after the original exhibition began in October 1862. “If he has not brought bodies and laid them in our dooryards and along the streets\, he has done something very like it.” \nCaptured by Washington photographer Alexander Gardner\, the images changed the perception of war in the United States and continue to reverberate in our own era as we grapple with human consequences of the continuing conflicts around the world. Now you\, too\, can experience the images that once captivated and horrified a nation in a 19th century setting.  The exhibit proves that history repeats itself as it provokes discussion on today’s military censorship of visual images of bodies and casualties returning from war zones. \nVisiting the exhibition is included with admission to the Clara Barton Missing Soldiers Office Museum and is free for Museum members. The exhibition will be on display at the Missing Soldiers Office from March 1\, 2018 until May 19\, 2018 and will be available during normal operating hours (11:00am – 6:00pm\, Thurs-Sat) and by appointment. Contact Reservations Coordinator Katie Reichard for more information about appointments and group visits: katie.reichard@civilwarmed.org or 301-695-1864. \nThe exhibit restages the original photographic images\, allowing visitors to experience what viewers did more than 155 years ago. Display prints have been made to the same dimensions and style of the originals from high-definition Library of Congress digital files. To enhance the visitor’s experience\, there will be a 3-D theatre to view the photos\, which were shot with stereoscopic cameras\, in the way they were originally intended. \nVisitors will explore how American society portrayed death at the start of the Civil War\, how these photos were received in 1862\, and how the coverage of war has evolved since the publication of Gardner’s images into the present day. “The Dead of Antietam” exhibition at the Missing Soldiers Office was created by Bob Kozak. \nGardner’s studio was also an integral part of Clara Barton’s everyday life during the Civil War. Located one block from Barton’s boardinghouse on 7th Street\, the studio became a hub of war-time activity as Gardner experimented with new photographic techniques and sold copies of his photographs. Like Gardner\, Barton was also on the battlefield at Antietam and witnessed its slaughter firsthand. \nFor more information about the exhibition\, contact Jake Wynn at jake.wynn@civilwarmed.org.
