Dan and John Peterson made a trip from out of state to the city of Clintonville to see a prized family heirloom neither of them had seen since the 1970s.
The two brothers stopped at the Clintonville Area Historical Society on Friday, May 5 to view a sword used during the Civil War by their great grandfather Alexander Peterson.
Dan Peterson traveled from Charlotte, North Carolina, while John came from Downers Grove, Illinois. The two were raised in the Shawano area.
