STAFFORD, Va. — The Civil War is coming to schools in Stafford County by truck.
The Civil War History Mobile will visit Colonial Forge, Stafford, and Mountain View high schools this week as part of the traveling exhibit show. High school students as well as 5th grade students will get to see the display.
Here’s more from the event press release:
The Civil War 150 History Mobile is an interactive “museum on wheels” housed in a 53’ expandable tractor-trailer. The four-year tour launched on July 21, 2011, in conjunction with the 150th anniversary commemoration of the First Battle of Manassas. The HistoryMobile will visit museums, parks, fairs, schools, and other sites throughout the Commonwealth and beyond.
The HistoryMobile draws together stories from all over Virginia and uses state-of-the-art technology and immersive exhibit spaces to present individual stories of the Civil War from the perspectives of those who experienced it—young and old, enslaved and free, soldiers and civilians.
