The exhibition includes one of four coats known to still exist that was worn at Gettysburg, and a soldier’s sword and scabbard, medals, and family photos. Also on display are letters and signatures of Abraham Lincoln, John Wilkes Booth, U.S. Grant, and Robert E. Lee. Docents will be on hand to enrich your visit to the exhibition with a documented history of each item.
