#5 - CIVIL WAR SOUVENIRS

Since Independence Day is right around the corner, here is a display of souvenirs brought back by Bradford County men who fought in the Civil War nearly 150 years ago. Bradford County soldiers brought home a variety of souvenirs from the Civil War. This case contains a sample of these souvenirs including artillery shrapnel, fired and unfired Minie balls, wood cut from tree that contained Minie balls, a fork stuck in a tree branch, canteens, and other interesting items.

Visit the Bradford County Historical Society Wednesday through Friday, 10 am to 4 pm to see this and hundreds of other local history pieces.
