Lincoln: the Constitution and the Civil War
October 5, 2011 – February 12, 2012
With the election of Abraham Lincoln as the nation’s 16th president in 1860, America faced its greatest constitutional test. How could a country founded on the belief that “all men are created equal” continue to tolerate slavery in its Constitution? This exhibit was organized by the National Constitution Center and the American Library Association, and made possible by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. SHSND has partnered with the National Park Service to bring this exhibit to North Dakota.

Permanent exhibits at the Missouri-Yellowstone Confluence Interpretive Center will explore the geography and geology of the area, its prehistoric life, and the impact of people arriving by Trails, Tracks, Rivers and Roads, which is also the name of the exhibits area. Featured in the 2,000-square-foot permanent gallery will be the Lewis and Clark journey, the fur trade era, Fort Buford, and the development of the modern-day irrigation and energy industries. There are more than 200 artifacts in the permanent gallery, including a frontier army transport wagon, a steamboat pilot's navigating wheel, and a 1903 Cadillac.
