Upcoming Events and Programs

November 28, 2012

The museum's largest and most ambitious exhibit for 2013 will be "Empire for Union." This exhibit, opening in March, 2013, will be our major effort in commemoration of the Civil War Sesquicentennial. A tremendous thanks must be given to the efforts of Lance Ingmire and the Friends of the NYS Military Museum for raising the funds which make this exhibit possible. A special thanks goes again to the Alfred Z. Solomon Charitable Trust for their considerable support to the Military Museum.

"Empire for Union" will focus on New York State's considerable military role in the Civil War. Sections will include the Battle of Bull Run (1861), New York State Zouaves, Martial Music, Battle of Antietam (1862), New York's foreign born soldiers, Made in New York (military equipment, weapons, etc. made in NY), New York photographers, Battle of Gettysburg, New York Draft riots, Health & Medicine, Camp Life, Battle of the Wilderness (1864), Prisoners & Prisons, Bureau of Military Statistics (our forbearer), Sanitary Commission and Relief Efforts, Appomattox Campaign (1865), and Veterans and Their Legacy. This will be an exciting, artifact rich exhibit. We are planning a docent training program for the new exhibit. Details to be announced.

Your continued support of the New York State Military Museum and Veterans Research Center is very much appreciated.

Happy Holidays from the staff and I,
