The Preakness Showcases Maryland's Roots - WAMU (NPR) - FM in Washington, DC

by Matt Bush

May 19, 2011 - On Saturday, around 100,000 people will pack the Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore for the Preakness Stakes, the second race in horse racing's Triple Crown. The Preakness showcases all things Maryland, including the state's horse racing industry. But it's been a long time since a Maryland horse won the race.

Do not leave Baltimore without visiting the Maryland Historical Society. The name is off -putting, conjuring up images of $5 annual dues and monthly erudite lectures.

But the reality is anything but. The167-year-old institution is one of the country’s finest, most fascinating and most comprehensive, museums and research centers. Its Civil War exhibition, “Divided Voices: Maryland in the Civil War,” is stunning.

Civil War exhibit opens in Maryland

The Maryland Historical Society's museum opened Maryland's largest and most comprehensive Civil War exhibit this month.

The impact of the war is told in personal terms in "Divided Voices: Maryland in the Civil War." The exhibit occupies more than 5,000 square feet and tells the story of a tragedy in three acts: the romantic war, the real war and the long reunion.

The exhibit will run for four years with annual updates.
