You won't want to miss this display and programs! The committee, Tom Cramer, Connie Garg, Harry McClarran, Jim Norton, Beth & Jim Opatrny, Roger Rowe, and Gerry Payn, are excited about getting to show off all of our Civil War artifacts, of which we have an ample supply. We also appreciate that several people are loaning their Civil War items for exhibit. Our last Civil War Display was ten years ago in 1999, and especially with Mr. Lincoln's 200th birthday in 2009, it was felt that this is the time for another display/programs.
Items to be included in the display include Gen. Charles Corfman's Cannon, Era dresses by Mrs Janice Corfman, Ray Leisy's Civil War Tokens, Abraham Lincoln collection of Gerry Payn (including an Apr. 15, 1865 newspaper - the day he died), Virgil and Ann Kline's surgical instruments, etc used by the medical units, the 16th OVI Guidon owned by the Society, musical instruments, uniforms, GAR and DUV items, the many items from the fourteen Regiments that over 3200 men from Wayne County participated in during the War, etc.
The ladies working with the Society's textile collection will have a display of Civil War Era Clothing and other items in the Dress Shop.
The charge for the programs and display is the usual Museum charge of $5.00 for non-members (no charge for members of the WCHS - we would be glad to have everybody join the society).
