A couple of weeks ago, Calvin and Abigail made an appearance at the Washington State Historical Society museum in Tacoma to join in the opening festivities for a new exhibit, "Civil War Pathways in the Pacific Northwest." The exhibit runs through July - check it out!
I didn't get many pictures, but we had a fun day, and it was great to reconnect with some of our fellow re-enactors. ( I'm not sure why the color is so dull in this photo; it looks much nicer in the original.) We learned some really interesting information about the effects of the Civil War in the northwest. I hope to browse their online materials soon.
This is a "housewife," a soldier's sewing kit. I didn't realize they came with patches of fabric.
The museum is right next to the famous glass museum, and is connected by a bridge featuring these incredible works of art. We ducked out of the rain for a minute to check them out.
