History Speaker Series: Michigan's GAR Memorial and Museum - CANCELLED

Keith G. Harrison, president of the board, will talk about the history and exhibits at this Eaton Rapids gem established in 2013. The Grand Army of the Republic was an organization created by the Union Veterans of the Civil War. This museum is the only one in Michigan exclusively dedicated to the memory of the Union veterans of the Civil War and the fraternal organization they founded and participated in. Located in downtown Eaton Rapids, the Museum occupies the actual building the veterans used from 1886 and houses two floors of exhibits and collection storage space.  The History Speaker series is presented jointly by the Albion Historical Society and the Local History Room of the Albion District Library.
