In a city where rumors could destroy reputations overnight, scandal revealed how the Civil War touched every corner of Washington society. A new temporary exhibit shines light on four scandals that sparked heated gossip in our nation’s capital, the nerve-center of the war effort. At the Rolland Center for Lincoln Research in the Allen County Public Library’s Main downtown location, this free exhibit is available April 8, 2026, through August 11, 2026. We invite visitors into the whisper network that rocked Washington, D.C., amidst our country’s greatest crisis.  For questions contact Lincoln@acpl.info
