Mr. Pinkerton's Artifact Investigators

Families with young children tour our gallery with a Center educator, then are assigned a trunk to unlock and explore. Reproduction artifacts tell the story of an enslaved woman, a southern student/ soldier, a northern mill worker and a Tredegar iron worker. Working and learning together, figure out what these mysterious objects tell us about everyday life in the Civil War era!
