On Sunday, I was at the Adams Free Library in Adams, Mass. A living historian did a first person presentation of Harriet Tubman.
The "Great Hall" the auditorium on the 2nd floor of the library is interesting to the student of the Civil War. It had been the GAR meeting room until the 1920s, there was a stand of rifled muskets and swords on display, the portrait of a young man, George Sayres, who died in the room, and whom the GAR post was named. There were two unique podiums, whose wooden bases were carved into the shape of a cannon and mortar respectively, including wooden cannon balls and rammers.
