G.A.R. Hall Hosting Civil War Roundtable

The G.A.R. Hall in Litchfield will be hosting another Civil War Roundtable meeting next Thursday – October 8th – at 1:30 p.m. Litchfield native Brian Pease will be speaking.

Museum Executive Director Danelle Erickson says Pease is the historian at the Minnesota State Capitol and conducts very interesting tours there in St. Paul. She says Pease will be speaking at the G.A.R. Hall on Thursday about regiments in Meeker County during the Civil War.

Erickson says the Meeker County Museum will have some scavenger hunts going on during the MEA break later this month if kids need something to do, and the museum is a great place to go if you are researching family history as they have old newspapers, microfilm and other sources. She says the museum at 308 North Marshall Avenue is open Tuesdays through Fridays from 10-to-4 and Saturdays from noon-to-4. For more information, go to meekercomuseum.org.
