I received this announcement and invitation from representatives of the Caroline Museum and Cultural Center and am passing it on to the list. They are trying to get the word out about the opening of the Caroline Museum and Cultural Center this coming weekend - August 25, 26, and 27th at the Courthouse green. In conjunction with the museum's opening is an 18 wheel Civil War History Mobile designed to commemorate the 150th Anniversary of the Civil War. This walk-through exhibit is the work of the Virginia Sesquicentennial of the Civil War Commission. It will be located on Courthouse Lane adjacent to the Caroline Courthouse. The announcement extends an invitation to visit the museum and History Mobile the end of this coming week. Also, plan to visit the museum during the year to see new exhibits as they document Caroline history of days gone by. The hours for the museum and History Mobile displays are 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Thursday and Friday and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday. The exhibits are free and opened to the public. Ribbon Cutting will be held at 10 a.m. on Thursday. The Museum will feature a story of the Underground Railroad Quilt, and a program entitled "War Between Brothers" which presents the story of Caroline's role in the American Civil War. War items from local collectors will be on display. Also featured is the C.S. Webb Family Photo Project sponsored by the Caroline Historical Society. CHS members are asked to bring old archival photos of family, friends, homes, churches, schools, farms and other personal pictures and/or documents that can be scanned and placed on CD's for the member and the Society to keep. The cost is $1. Scanning of photos and documents will continue during designated times during the year . Beginning Sunday, August 28th regular visiting hours will begin. The museum's hours are Wednesday - Saturday 10 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Sunday 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. The Visitor's Center at Carmel Church has extended its services to Bowling Green and a branch is now located at the Caroline Museum. Tourist information is available as well as crafts created by local artisans. The Caroline Historical Society Collection is on loan to the Caroline Museum and Cultural Center.
