Ladies of Lincoln’s Era
-
Look beyond the bonnets with the “Ladies of Lincoln’s Era ” traveling exhibition featuring highlights of twelve of the most influential women of the 1860s. The West Baton Rouge Museum presents the biographies of these influential women with a selection of artifacts from Clara Barton, Mary Todd Lincoln and others to hearken back to this pivotal time in U.S. history. These trend-setting, civic-minded, and even pistol-wielding women faced unprecedented challenges as abolitionists, spies, humanitarians, and agents of change. The exhibit opens Saturday, and continues through March 4. westbatonrougemuseum.com
