Under the direction of history professor Brenden Martin, MTSU public history students designed a traveling exhibit depicting various aspects of Rutherford County, Tenn., during the Civil War.

The exhibit, “This Cruel War: Rutherford County Experiences the Civil War,” which has been featured at museums in Middle Tennessee, is currently on display at the James E. Walker Library on the MTSU campus.
