Inside visitors will find an extensive collection of Civil War artifacts, battle relics, personal memorabilia, paintings, documents, and photographs. This collection was begun by the veterans who formed Post 2 of the Grand Army of the Republic. Many, many other items each tell a unique story. And many of those stories are personal ones, giving insight into the War that is not available anywhere else. Visitors are greeted by costumed docents wearing the uniform of the Union Army.
Women bustle about in their hoop skirts and other clothing of the period.
General Grant might appear, or the complexities of Civil War medicine might be demonstrated. The secrets of 1860's photography may be revealed. There's something different each month, giving visitors reason to return again and again. Groups, including School Groups , can enjoy an educational Guided Tour. Outreach Programs are also available, with Museum staff delivering historical programs for groups off site.
