October 27 - This will be our "Members Only" annual visit to the American Civil War Museum at Tredegar Iron Works, 500 Tredegar St., Richmond, VA., hosted by Senior Curator Robert Hancock. For this museum visit, Robert will display and discuss certain museum objects not typically on display at the museum. Plan to arrive by 6:30 pm so we can enjoy the museum prior to the meeting at 7:00 pm. After 7:00 pm there will be no one to open the entrance doors, so please arrive early. You will receive a parking ticket as you enter the museum parking lot; Robert asks that everyone please bring in their ticket, so he can validate it. This meeting will be a wonderful opportunity to view some very rare artifacts! Don’t miss it!
