American Civil War Display
The Town Clerk’s Office is thrilled that the owners of a private collection of Civil War artifacts have allowed us to display them in our cases located in the Town Hall Foyer for a short time. To say that this extensive collection is amazing is an understatement, it truly is a “must see” display! It is a miracle that these items have stood the test of time!
We will be hosting two presentations: November 13th at 1:00 pm and again on November 27th at 7:00 pm in the Town Hall foyer. We have guest speakers telling the stories of four Civil War Soldiers; Elmer Ellsworth, James A. Buck, William Secor and William Hart all whom are buried here, in Halfmoon. In addition, we will have a guest speaker on the Battle at Gettysburg.
Please come and join us as we step back in history to a time when these artifacts were everyday items, Abraham Lincoln was President, and the time where these very interesting stories originated!
