Fashions of the Civil War

Take a look at the garments on display at the Marietta Museum of History, and tell us what you think of these styles.

The exhibit, which will run through September, at the Marietta Museum of History takes a look at women during the Civil War.

"It's called Divided and United because Marietta women, as with most of Northern Georgia, were divided during the Civil War," museum curator Amy Reed said. "There were quite a lot of Union supporters as well as Confederacy supporters in the area."

The exhibit tells the story of Marietta women during the Civil War and features Jane Glover, Louisa Fletcher, Minerva McClatchey and Georgia Fletcher Pole.
