“Lay of the Land” Exhibit Opening

Join us on November 23 at 1 pm for an opening ceremony of our new visitor center exhibit. “Lay of the Land” was created in collaboration between park staff, volunteers, community partners, and an internship program with Morehouse College alumni through the Greening Youth Foundation HBCUI program. The exhibit uses a place-based approach to share stories of locations throughout the southeastern United States to address core themes of Reconstruction: land, labor, education, citizenship, and politics, as well as the long-term consequences and legacy of Reconstruction. The exhibit was completed in late October as part of a series of projects to improve the accessibility and visitor experience to the park.
