Morven's New Special Exhibition "Northern Family, Southern Ties" Opens November 6

The result of three years of research, Morven's new special exhibition Northern Family, Southern Ties opens next Thursday. It's the first exhibit examining the overlooked connections between families straddling the Mason-Dixon Line, and complicates the more traditional understanding of the "North" and "South" by following two families and the people they enslaved before, during, and after the Civil War.

Northern Family, Southern Ties inaugurates a brand new gallery at the museum! You'll encounter a newly discovered painting, works by preeminent American Portraitist Thomas Sully, an interactive feature that lets you explore the interstate movement of enslaved people and learn their stories, and much more.
