G erard Eisterhold thrives on learning. "I've always had this kind of distance perspective observing what's going on," says the man charged with designing exhibits for the Civil War history center under development in Fayetteville. "I like to learn stuff, but as you learn stuff you keep track of what was interesting about that and you try to leave bread crumbs for other people to have those same little discoveries. "I like to learn things," Eisterhold continues. "And I assume that there are other people who like to learn things and that if I find something interesting, they'll find something interesting. In a way, it's a self-centered perspective, I suppose. But that's where I come from." Eisterhold, 71, builds content and exhibits for museums from the ground up. His previous work can be found in the International Civil Rights Museum & Center in Greensboro and other facilities focused on history. Based in Kansas City, Missouri, he was hired for the job by organizers of the N.C. History Center on the Civil War, Emancipation & Reconstruction in Fayetteville. "We knew from the outset this was a difficult topic with lots of sensitivities," says David Winslow, who is responsible for fundraising and putting a staff together for the history center before a director is named. "We purposely sought out somebody that could deal with this." e center will be constructed on the grounds of the U.S. Arsenal at the Museum of the Cape Fear Historical Complex in the Haymount Historic District. Some skeptics question the organizers' intentions and adamantly oppose a museum that might pay homage to the Confederacy and overlook racial injustice. History center leaders promise that will not be the case. ey say it will be an educational "collecting" history center, telling stories that involve African Americans, Native Americans and women and come from other minority perspectives from the Civil War- Reconstruction period. Supporters stress that it will not be a static, traditional museum with statues and memorials but one that gives historical accounts of an important time in U.S. history.
