Summary NoteSummary: "The exhibition On the Home Front: Civil War Fashions and Domestic Life focuses on the daily life and experiences of the American civilian population during the Civil War and in the years immediately following. The pieces on exhibit, including women's and children's costumes, supplemented with related photographs, decorative arts and women's magazines, are organized thematically. The exhibition draws heavily from the Kent State University Museum's world-class collection of historic fashion, but also includes loans from the Western Reserve Historical Society in Cleveland, Ohio and the Kent State University Libraries, Special Collections and Archives."--p.
