ATHM Reception in New York City

ATHM will be hosting a reception at the New-York Historical Society on Monday, June 9, 2 p.m. - 4 p.m., celebrating ATHM's critically acclaimed 2012 traveling exhibition, Homefront & Battlefield: Quilts & Context in the Civil War, which is currently on view at the New-York Historical Society, 170 Central Park West in New York City.

Celebrating the 150th anniversary of the American Civil War, Homefront & Battlefield uses quilts, textiles, clothing, and other artifacts to connect deeply moving and insightful personal stories about the war, its causes, and its aftermath with the broader national context and public history.
