Historical/Interpretive Information/Exhibits

Step inside this exhibit and experience the pass room of a United States Provost Marshal in 1864.

When staffed, this exhibit allows visitors to learn more about the duties of provost marshal clerks. Take the oath of allegiance, ask about traveling to Virginia, or try to send a letter to a friend. You may be surprised how restricted life was during a time of martial law!
