The Frazier hosts Liberty on the Border: A Civil War Exhibit September 27, 2008 through January 19, 2009 as part of the Lincoln Bicentennial. Liberty on the Border is unique from other Civil War exhibits because it focuses specifically on the border relationship between Kentucky and Ohio with a look at the Ohio River as not only a physical border between the two states, but also a dividing line between North and South—“free” and “slave.” Liberty on the Border: A Civil War Exhibit puts the causes, effects and meaning of the war in more personal terms due in part to a special emphasis on non-military events and civilian contributions.

Separated into three major areas—Liberty Denied, Liberty’s Trial: The War Years, and Liberty’s Legacy—-Liberty on the Border: A Civil War Exhibit is a hands-on exhibit that includes documents and photographs, touchable replicas, diaries and interactive displays that allow visitors the chance to interpret their own meaning of the Civil War and experience what life was like for those living on both sides of the border.
