Civil War Sesquicentennial Exhibit: Real History is Told in Private Letters
The Fells presents an exhibit of the diary and letters of Colonel John Hay and those of Ninth New Hampshire Regiment Corporal Elmer Bragg. Hay's writings describe his Civil War duties, life in the White House and President Lincoln's leadership and humanity. Bragg's poignant personal effects reveal a young soldier's experience from enlistment to battlefields and his final days.
