P.S. Be sure to scroll down and see our new mascot, Corporal Lawton Webster Barnes. Check back for updates on his adventures!
Our exhibit focuses on the experience of the common Civil War soldier and his loved ones at home. Our "homespun" displays feature never published images, and letters, and an eclectic collection of memorabilia. Unique!
Ed Bearss was here!
