The Medford Historical Society & Museum welcomes Jay Stott for a talk on the organization’s national treasure: its rare Civil War photo collection. Encounter the images as never before, and hone your history detective skills too. See selected images from the collection through the photographers’ eyes, as they intended them to be seen and experienced. The photos are a direct witness to the people, places and events of the American Civil War. Learn about the technical and physical challenges the photographers faced and the choices they made to ply a rapidly evolving craft, then barely 20 years old. Explore some of the hidden stories their photos tell. Space is limited; reserve your free ticket through Eventbrite.
