Henry Clay pipe and campaign ribbons on loan to the Frazier History Museum

Several objects from the Kentucky Library & Museum collection are featured in the exhibit, “Civil War: My Brother, My Enemy” at the Frazier History Museum in Louisville.  They include political items such as a unique Henry Clay campaign pipe, several ribbons promoting the candidacies of James Buchanan, John C. Breckinridge, and Henry Clay; two Civil War era handbills; and two everyday objects – a china head doll and mid-19th century sewing machine.

Running through April 8, 2012, “My Brother, My Enemy,” explores how the Civil War impacted Kentuckians and examines the heart-wrenching and personal stories of the nationwide conflict that forever severed once close-knit relationships here in Kentucky.  More information about the exhibit.
