New Exhibit Open in the Museum

July 1-Oct. 31, 2010

Perryville Battlefield has a new cavalry exhibition at its museum that includes items rarely seen by the public including Sue Mundy’s pistol and artifacts from John Hunt Morgan’s 2^nd Kentucky Regiment. The exhibit also includes an interpretive film, interactive displays that allow the guest to research Civil War ancestors and graphic panels depicting all aspects of cavalry. Admission is $3.50 for adults and $2.50 for children under 12.

The Horse Soldier exhibit is timely because of the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington Sept. 25-Oct. 10, 2010. Perryville’s annual battle re-enactment will be held during the games Oct. 2-3. The cavalry theme will continue for the Perryville re-enactment. There will be expert speakers on cavalry, cavalry demonstrations and museum exhibits focusing on horses. The weekend will feature two battles at the park, which preserves the location of the largest Civil War battle in Kentucky that took place in 1862.

Due to the Emerald Ash Borer, all firewood coming into the park must be harvested locally in the county of the park. There are a growing number of quarantined counties and we want to take every precaution to prevent spreading the insect.
