Exhibits and lectures will be held around the state next month to continue marking the 150th anniversary of the Civil War.
The Arkansas Civil War Sesquicentennial Commission started commemorating the 150th anniversary of the Civil War in 2011 by hosting exhibits and lectures with yearly themes, according to its website. Events in 2015 will focus on emancipation and reconstruction.
