Davies Manor Association Annual Events Calendar

April 2 through May 31, 2013
“Free at Last!” Traveling Exhibit

Beginning April 2nd, Davies Manor Plantation will have the traveling exhibition created by the Tennessee Civil War National Heritage Area. Entitled “Free at Last!” the 4-panel exhibition emphasizes the significance of emancipation as a result of the Civil War. The first two panels give an overview of emancipation and Reconstruction in the state. The second two panels, added in 2011 for the sesquicentennial of the Civil War, focus on the fight for freedom in West Tennessee, where a groundbreaking contraband camp was established in Grand Junction in November 1862. “Free at Last!” provides an introduction to the joys and challenges shared by African Americans in Tennessee during the aftermath of slavery.
