Cathey, Is there a date issued on the GAR papers? I am with the SUVCW as you probley know the GAR ( Grand Army of the Republic) Was for the CW Vets. When the old vets died, We became the SUVCW or SCVCW, We have some Cps. in your state & they would be very intersted. Have a musket, " ball"! Ken.

Just want to let you know that in Redfield, Iowa, which is only thirty minutes west of Des Moines on I-80, we have a restored Grand Army of the Republic Post. We are currently looking for furnishings for the Post meeting hall, which is upstairs in the building. Downstairs we have a military museum. There will be an Open House/Grand Opening in May of 2008, and all interested persons are welcome to attend. More details regarding date and time will be available later. This building was built in the 1880's by the local G.A.R. Post members and is in our town of 800 or so population. It's a fine structure and has been restored as best as it can be, considering it's condition when restoration began 14 years ago. It's taken that long to gather grants and donations enough to do the job, but it's worth every penny and minute! I'm the great-grand daughter of an Illinois member of the Union Army, my husband is the great-grand son of another Union veteran, and our town is named for Col. James Redfield, who was killed at the battle of Allatoona, GA. We're very proud of our 39th Infantry history here in Redfield, the former New Ireland.
