Mercy Street<\/a>,<\/strong> PBS\u2019 original Civil War drama in more than a decade, returns for a second season Sunday, Jan. 22, at 7 p.m.<\/strong> Again this year we\u2019ve invited Tennessee State Museum curator Rob DeHart to write a weekly blog post that will draw on the museum\u2019s collection to localize the story to the Middle Tennessee region.<\/p>\n

DeHart has 16 years of museum experience and is a curator at the Tennessee State Museum here in Nashville where he specializes in technology and cultural history. He is currently developing content about the period from 1760 to 1850 for the new state museum opening on the corner of Jefferson Street and Rosa Parks Boulevard in 2018. DeHart received his M.A. in public history from Middle Tennessee State University and is a peer reviewer for the American Alliance of Museums.<\/p>\n
