The American Civil War on Film: How Hollywood Shapes What We Know3–4:15 p.m.Many Americans base their perceptions about our history more on what they see in movies and on television than on what they read. Gary Gallagher, holder of the Cavaliers’ Distinguished Teaching Professorship and the John L. Nau III Professorship in the History of the American Civil War, will explore how films like Gone With the Wind, Glory and Cold Mountain have presented—and distorted—the history of the Civil War.

LGBTQ Life: The University and Its Peer Institutions3–4:15 p.m.The University of Virginia’s status compared to our peer institutions on LGBTQ issues will be the focus of a panel of students and alumni, who will also field questions—and ideas—from the audience. The University’s stature as a leading national institution is not at issue; however, we continue to fall behind on many indicators of a positive LGBTQ climate, such as a lack of part-ner benefits for faculty and staff and a relatively small (but growing) LGBTQ studies program. How can we change the University’s climate for the better? What strategies do we need to devel-op? What ideas do you have? Bring them for an exciting discussion about bolstering progress.

Did you know the original Lawn was to have been two-and-a-half football fields wide? That there was no Rotunda in Thomas Jefferson’s original design? That the beginnings of the Honor System had nothing to do with the murder of a professor? Find out how the Seven Society got started, how the White Spot got its name and why—only in Charlottesville—a “corner” is five city blocks long. Complete with dozens of rarely seen archival photographs, Coy Barefoot’s talk is one of the most popular among U.Va. alumni around the country. Don’t miss this fun and fascinating look back at the great story of the University of Virginia.

Alumni Children and the Admission Process With Admission Tour 9–11:15 a.m. (Tour begins at 10:15 a.m.)Join an admission dean for an introduction to the college application process.

Let the experts help relieve a bit of stress as you begin this journey. There will be a significant amount of time left for questions. Starting at 10:15 a.m., enjoy a tour of Grounds focused on student life, led by current students.

EXHIBITSFlowerdew Hundred: Unearthing Virginia’s HistoryEntry Level, Permanent ExhibitFeaturing archaeological artifacts from the University of Virginia’s Flowerdew Hundred Collection, this exhibit pres-ents material evidence of Virginia’s early inhabitants: Native American stone tools and pottery shards; arms and armor used to defend the new colony; refined, imported wares from Europe; and American-made goods, including items manufactured by African Americans. The materials from U.Va.’s Special Collections are also on display; images from 16th- and 17th- century maps and books—illustrate the importance of the historical record in the study of material culture.

Layers of the Past: Discoveries at Flowerdew HundredEntry Level, Temporary ExhibitThe recorded history of Flowerdew Hundred begins in 1618, when the Virginia Company of London granted George Yeardley a thousand acres on the James River, but writ-ten documents tell an incomplete story. As early as ten thousand years ago, successive groups of Virginia Indians began to occupy the site. English colonists, enslaved African Americans, Union soldiers, and countless others later followed—each group leaving behind evidence of their daily lives. Over the past several decades, a clearer picture of Virginia’s early inhabitants and their ways of life has emerged through archaeological excavations at this property. This exhibit features fascinating artifacts and new ways of thinking about one of Virginia’s most interesting archeological sites.

Declaring Independence: Creating and Re-Creating America’s DocumentDeclaration of Independence Gallery, 1st FloorExplore Albert H. Small’s (Engr ‘46) unique collection of docu-ments relating to the Declaration of Independence. The exhi-bition sheds light on not only the writing and signing of the Declaration but also on its first printing, distribution across the colonies and future impact on American history. The highlight of the exhibition is the Dunlap Broadside, the very first printing of the Declaration. There are only 25 known copies in existence. An accompanying documentary film is available for viewing in the gallery.
