Barbed Wire Exhibit

"Cheaper than dirt and stronger than steel," was the slogan shouted in 1874 by promoters of a new style of fencing. This new style of fencing was barbed wire and its invention had a profound impact on the United States. A special exhibition of 181 different styles of barb wire is on display now in the Education Center at Homestead National Monument of America through August 31. This free exhibition compliments the collection on permanent display inside and outside the new Homestead Heritage Center. More
