Experience the difficulties of living within a "border state" during the Civil War.  Explore the relationship between Ohio and Kentucky.  Take away new insights into the events leading up to the war, the war years, and the aftermath that has occurred from postwar to modern day.

This exhibit is unique from other Civil War exhibits because it focuses specifically on the relationship between Kentucky and Ohio, with a look at the Ohio River as not only a physical border between the two states, but also a dividing line between North and South - "free" and "slave."

Separated into three major areas - Liberty Denied, Liberty's Trial: The War Years, and Liberty's Legacy - Liberty on the Border: A Civil War Exhibit is a hands-on exhibit that includes documents and photographs, touchable replicas, diaries, and interactive displays that allow visitors the chance to interpret their personal meaning of the Civil War and experience what life was like for those living on both sides of the border.

 **This exhibit is FREE with Museum admission**
