In Case of Secession Break Glass
I took this photo yesterday at, The 5th Maine Museum on Peaks Island, Maine: built in 1888 as a cottage for surviving veterans of the regiment, it now stands as a museum honoring their legacy. The museum and its dedicated staff keep Maine's proud Civil War history alive with an impressive collection of memorabilia, portraits, and their prized possession: the original American flag carried by the regiment. Well worth the ferry ride from Portland!
