Muscatine and the Civil War

Muscatine and the Civil War exhibition presents original documents, personal artifacts, and a re-created battlefield campground to explore the stories of the Muscatine peoples who endured the struggles of the Civil War. A visual projection of Muscatine Soldier, Danile Parvin reading from his letters helps visitors encounter the realities of camp life. This exhibition feature was originally installed in the 2011 Civil War exhibition and was funded through a grant from the Roy J. Carver Charitable Trust.
