A glimpse at life in the Civil War era will be on display starting April 17 when the Crawford Long Museum in Jefferson opens its “The Threads of the Civil War” exhibit. The museum will feature garments and accessories of the Civil War era while telling the stories of Mary Jane Merk Patrick of Jefferson, whose husband, Miles Jefferson Patrick, died in the war. The 150th anniversary of the “War Between the States” is marked by the new exhibit and the existing “Medicine in the Civil War” display.
