The new “Scholars then Soldiers: Tusculum College and the American Civil War” exhibit opened Saturday with a reception at the President Andrew Johnson Museum and Library on the Tusculum College campus. The student-created exhibit features information about the 19 alumni who fought during the war and the effect that the Civil War had on Tusculum College, including the merger with Greeneville College that had most of its assets destroyed due to the conflicts. The exhibit will be on display through the remainder of the Civil War Sesquicentennial in 2015. The museum, located in the “Old College” building on campus is open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Monday-Friday. The museum will also be open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, April 21, as part of the Old Oak Festival on campus that weekend.
