National Civil War Museum

The National Civil War Museum will use its grant to fund “The Civil War 150 Years Later—Bringing History Back for the Future,” a primarily Web-based project that is intended to enhance educational resources available to teachers, students, and the public on the Civil War. Specifically, the project will revolve around identified themes, each of which will have an available educational narrative, teacher packets, original documents and artifacts, interactive interview questions with Abraham Lincoln, a calendar and Web portal for national events, and exhibits available for loan to sites across the country. Virtual presentations to schools will also be offered.
