Black History Month Exhibit - "Slave to Soldier"

In honor of Black History Month, Shiloh presents the temporary exhibit - "Slave to Soldier." This exhibit recognizes the often overlooked story of newly Freedmen who joined the Union Army from the state of Tennessee.

A booklet is included with the exhibit that takes the visitor on a deeper dive into the history of these units and men from Tennessee and beyond.    

The exhibit is on display in the park's visitor center which is open from 9:00 am - 5:00 pm daily. There is no charge to experience the "Slave to Soldier" display.
