January 9th - March 1st

The Duncan Center Museum & Art Gallery along with exhibit sponsors the Greenville Tourism Commission and the Pogue Automotive Group are honored to have a very special Civil War Exhibit coming right here to Greenville! The exhibit "My Brother, My Enemy," on loan from the Frazier History Museum in Louisville, will be available for viewing January 9th - March 1st. This very special exhibit explores Kentucky's Civil War connections.

The war between the States pitted brother against brother. Nowhere was this more apparent than in the border state of Kentucky--where family lines were often battle lines. "My Brother, My Enemy" examines how Kentucky's distinctive physical and political positioning led to deep and lasting divisions amoung families and friends.

Unlike many other Civil War exhibitions that tend to focus on battlefield chronology, this 15 panel exhibit delves into the heart wrenching and personal stories of the nationwide conflict that forever severed once close-knit relationships throughout Kentucky.

The exhibit features more than a dozen artifacts including weapons, cutlery, photographs and jewelry and is an original exhibit produced by the Frazier History Museum.

The Duncan Center is honored to host such a great exhibit on American history. They will not only be providing the exhibit for viewing by the community at large, but it also provides a unique opportunity for area students to see an exhibit they wouldn't normally have access to.

Visitors and students alike can tour the exhibit Monday - Friday from 11:00AM - 4:00PM or by appointment. Admission is FREE as always. For additional information or to schedule a class trip, contact the Duncan Center at 270-338-2605 or by email at duncan.museum.@gmail.com. Don't miss this exciting piece of history in Muhlenberg County!
