A Midwest Perspective on the Civil War at Kenosha Museum-- Part 2

A temporary exhibit, "On the Way to War" ran through March 1st and conveys "the universal experience of the citizen soldier," according to Dan Joyce, director of Kenosha museums.  "Take away the technology and the experience is the same; the training, camaraderie, frustration, boredom and fear."

Anchoring the exhibit are watercolor paintings done on the way to war in 1862 by soldier John Gaddis.
