Civil War Artifacts Needed

One hundred and fifty years ago, the Civil War tore up the country. The sesquicentennial observance will be the major focus at the bi-annual History Expo in June and Worcester's July 4th festivities.

Exciting events planned for the Fourth include a Civil War encampment and an appearance by President Lincoln.

The Worcester Historical Society desperately needs to expand its Civil War collection. If you have any related items or know of anyone who may have something that we could borrow for a short time, please contact David Book by cell phone at 802-598-871 or email at dbcabot@aol.com.
