#6 - A REPLICA OF A CIVIL WAR CAMP
We have a display here at the museum that is a scaled down replica of a Civil War camp. This exhibit shows museum goers what life in an army camp during this time would have been like. Most of the items on display come from Bradford County’s own regiment the 141st Pennsylvania Volunteers. The field desk that is in the center of the display belonged to Major Henry J. Madill of the 141st. This desk was the location where he would keep his letters, correspondences, pencils, pictures, maps, and other documents. Happy 4th of July!
Visit the Bradford County Historical Society Wednesday through Friday, 10 am to 4 pm to see this and hundreds of other local history pieces. NOTE: The museum and research center are closed this Friday in observance of Independence Day.
