Enjoy some light refreshments and an exclusive first look at three rare artifacts the Museum hopes to add to its collection. -A very rare Civil War hospital flag, identified to the 19th Massachusetts Infantry. -A rare early model wicker hospital steward’s knapsack, full of its medical contents. -A “surgeon’s companion,” or hip pack, identified to a Massachusetts Volunteer Militia unit, also containing many of its original medicine containers.
