Civil War Exhibit at Ella Sharp Museum. The Jackson Civil War Muster, in partnership with the Ella Sharp Museum and the Jackson County Michigan Historical Society, is proud to present Michigan in the Civil War, a powerful traveling exhibition from the Detroit Historical Society. While no battles were fought on Michigan soil, the state’s citizens played a vital role in one of the most defining moments in American history. From the first shots at Fort Sumter to the surrender at Appomattox, Michiganders served as soldiers, nurses, abolitionists, and leaders, including Governor Austin Blair, whose actions helped shape the war’s outcome and the nation’s future. Featuring over 60 artifacts and photographs, this exhibition illuminates the personal stories, sacrifices, and enduring legacies of those who answered the call to serve. Michigan in the Civil War is on display now at the Ella Sharp Museum through the end of September—don’t miss this chance to step into history and explore Michigan’s role in the fight that defined a nation.
