Greensburg, Ind.—Civil War history will come alive for visitors who experience Faces of the Civil
War, an Indiana Historical Society (IHS) traveling exhibit. From January 5 – February 4, 2023, the
Historical Society of Decatur County will host the exhibit at the Historical Society of Decatur
County Museum, located at 222 N. Franklin St, Greensburg, IN.
The exhibit brings to life the stories of many Hoosiers whose lives were touched, and in some
cases taken, by the Civil War. Not all are well known or revered—many were just everyday
citizens fulfilling their duties to their friends, family, state and country. Rather than focusing on
statistics and large scale battles, the exhibit illustrates how regular people coped with the tragic
experiences of the day—all from an Indiana perspective.
