BETWEEN FENCES : THE WOOD COUNTY INFIRMARY
Our poignant exhibit will address the perceived division of Infirmary residents and feature the Brandeberry Wall that surrounds the property.
This exhibit was developed in conjunction with the Smithsonian traveling exhibit BETWEEN FENCES, which is on exhibit April 9 - May 7, 2010.
BETWEEN FENCES is part of Museum on Main Street, a collaboration between the Smithsonian Institution and the Federation of State Humanities Councils. Support for Museum on Main Street has been provided by the United State Congress. [more about our exhibits] |
