A new exhibit is documenting the often untold stories of hundreds of African American men from Talbot County who fought for their freedom in the Civil War.

And while the project put on by the Talbot Historical Society aims to tell the history of free and enslaved Black men in the Civil War, it doesn’t stop there. Extensive research dating back months has helped uncover the names and details of more than 500 Black soldiers from Talbot County.
