A selection of photographs from

significant historic American sites will be on display from Oct. 25, 2012

“From the beginning, when I was watching
my children stand mesmerized over Niagara Falls, this project was an exercise
in renewal,” said Leibovitz. “It taught me to see again.” The pictures, although there are no people in them, are in a certain sense portraits of subjects that have shaped Leibovitz’s distinctly American view of her cultural inheritance. Visiting the homes of iconic figures, including Eleanor Roosevelt, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Louisa May Alcott, Pete Seeger, and Elvis Presley, as well as places such as Niagara Falls, Gettysburg and the Yosemite Valley, she let her instincts guide her to related subjects—hence the title Pilgrimage. “Gettysburg is such an important place in American history,” said Gettysburg Foundation President Joanne M. Hanley. “Millions of people make their own pilgrimage of sorts here every year, to stand on these fields and reflect on the battle of Gettysburg’s effect on our nation—an effect we are still feeling today. The Pilgrimage exhibition helps people understand that Gettysburg is very much relevant in our lives today.” Annie Leibovitz: Pilgrimage is presented at Gettysburg by the Gettysburg Foundation; the exhibition is organized by the Smithsonian American Art Museum. The Bernie Stadiem Endowment Fund provided support for the exhibition, and the C.F. Foundation of Atlanta supports the museum’s traveling exhibition program, Treasures to Go. The prints were made by David Adamson Editions in Washington, D.C.

“From the beginning, when I was watching
my children stand mesmerized over Niagara Falls, this project was an exercise
in renewal,” said Leibovitz. “It taught me to see again.” The pictures, although there are no people in them, are in a certain sense portraits of subjects that have shaped Leibovitz’s distinctly American view of her cultural inheritance. Visiting the homes of iconic figures, including Eleanor Roosevelt, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Louisa May Alcott, Pete Seeger, and Elvis Presley, as well as places such as Niagara Falls, Gettysburg and the Yosemite Valley, she let her instincts guide her to related subjects—hence the title Pilgrimage. “Gettysburg is such an important place in American history,” said Gettysburg Foundation President Joanne M. Hanley. “Millions of people make their own pilgrimage of sorts here every year, to stand on these fields and reflect on the battle of Gettysburg’s effect on our nation—an effect we are still feeling today. The Pilgrimage exhibition helps people understand that Gettysburg is very much relevant in our lives today.” Annie Leibovitz: Pilgrimage is presented at Gettysburg by the Gettysburg Foundation; the exhibition is organized by the Smithsonian American Art Museum. The Bernie Stadiem Endowment Fund provided support for the exhibition, and the C.F. Foundation of Atlanta supports the museum’s traveling exhibition program, Treasures to Go. The prints were made by David Adamson Editions in Washington, D.C.

9:30am-10:30am Special Member only Meet & Greet 10:30am-11:30am Lecture | Educational | Fall Lecture Series - "From Stone Wall to Stonewall: The Fredericksburg Campaign Revealed" With Frank O'Reilly, Historian at Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania National Military Park | The Battle of Fredericksburg was a barometer for the world to gauge the progress of the Civil War at the end of 1862. It was easily simplified into absolutes in peoples’ minds: it was the easiest victory Confederate General Robert E. Lee ever had—the Union commander, Ambrose Burnside, was a well-meaning incompetent—and the terrible Stone Wall was impregnable against all odds. But the campaign and battle at Fredericksburg were far more complicated and intriguing than that! |
National Civil War Museum
1 Lincoln Circle At Reservoir Park |
717-260-1861 |
The very nature of war changed at Fredericksburg, introducing unprecedented
elements of combat like establishing the first beachhead under fire in
American history and the first truly urban combat in North America. It
was a battle that a relatively unknown Pennsylvanian named George Gordon Meade
came perilously close to winning in spite of the Union high command; and
Stonewall Jackson almost lost. We will discuss all the subtleties and
surprises that challenge historians and students even today.

“From the beginning, when I was watching
my children stand mesmerized over Niagara Falls, this project was an exercise
in renewal,” said Leibovitz. “It taught me to see again.” The pictures, although there are no people in them, are in a certain sense portraits of subjects that have shaped Leibovitz’s distinctly American view of her cultural inheritance. Visiting the homes of iconic figures, including Eleanor Roosevelt, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Louisa May Alcott, Pete Seeger, and Elvis Presley, as well as places such as Niagara Falls, Gettysburg and the Yosemite Valley, she let her instincts guide her to related subjects—hence the title Pilgrimage. “Gettysburg is such an important place in American history,” said Gettysburg Foundation President Joanne M. Hanley. “Millions of people make their own pilgrimage of sorts here every year, to stand on these fields and reflect on the battle of Gettysburg’s effect on our nation—an effect we are still feeling today. The Pilgrimage exhibition helps people understand that Gettysburg is very much relevant in our lives today.” Annie Leibovitz: Pilgrimage is presented at Gettysburg by the Gettysburg Foundation; the exhibition is organized by the Smithsonian American Art Museum. The Bernie Stadiem Endowment Fund provided support for the exhibition, and the C.F. Foundation of Atlanta supports the museum’s traveling exhibition program, Treasures to Go. The prints were made by David Adamson Editions in Washington, D.C.
