PLEASE SUPPORT THE G.A.R. MUSEUM

The Grand Army of the Republic Civil War Museum and Library is the only museum in this area that is solely dedicated to preserving the history and telling the story of the Civil War.

The collection is recognized for its historical significance and features numerous relics of singular historical importance including:  General Meade’s warhorse Old Baldy, handcuffs found in John Wilkes Booth’s trunk after the assassination, the strip of the pillowcase and Lincoln’s blood, Dr. Mary Walker’s medical case, the bullet that killed Col. Edward Baker at Ball’s Bluff, and the uniform of Col. DeWitt Clinton Baxter of the 72^nd PA Infantry.

As members of the historical community, it is vitally important that we show our support for the museum, or this wonderful museum will disappear.

·      You will have a wonderful opportunity to meet and greet both old and new friends who share your interest in history;

·      We have a great keynote speaker, historian and author of many Civil War books, Bradley Gottfried;

·      you can explore the books and merchandise from Jim Schmick’s Civil War and More;

·      you will be eligible to win one of many great especially selected raffle prizes;

·      and you will have an opportunity to purchase authentic Civil War relics.

Please check out the luncheon notice and make your reservation.  Without your support, this wonderful and historic museum may well become a thing of the past; only a memory.
