Hello from sunny Tampa, Florida!! I am trying to do some research--from afar--for some friends of mine. They/we are portraying soldiers from the 7th Conn. Company K. A unit that actually served some time in Florida (Olustee). I would love to find any special information that you might have. I am also very interested in finding the Regimental Colours. If anyone could offer some info, other websites, etc, we would apperciate it greatly! Maybe one day we'll actually make it up north 
Thank you! pinkpyrate99@yahoo.com

Found your site (obviously), I am a lawyer and historian in Milford CT. I am writing a piece on the Civil War and Milford for the Milford Living magazine. Will you be open on 1/22? I would very much like to review your archive.
I have something you might be interested: a copy of "The Old Flag" published in 1914 as a memorial and account of the confederate prison at Tyler Tx FCamp Ford and the CV 23rd.

We were excited to discover your museum, and really enjoyed the presentation last night. We're looking forward to returning for future events. If you having an email list, please include us!
UPDATE ON OUR ONLINE CATALOG
About three months ago, we stopped posting anything related to our archive or artifact collection on our website. Due to our very small all-volunteer staff we have been unable to keep up with it. We are currently pursuing grants to purchase a specialized computer program which will allow us to place our entire catalog online. We thank you for both your patience and understanding.

I finally have sufficient proof to petition Veteran Services for a headstone for my Great Grandfather, Alfred Perkins, 12th Connecticut Infantry, Company D. I would like to purchase a Connecticut Regiment Flag for the ceremony we are planning when laying the stone. Also, as a point of interest, I researched the number of Connecticut Perkins Men served Connecticut during the Civil War and found 78 having served. Research continues to ascertain if they were all kin.

My Great, Great Grandfather, Alfred Perkins, served in the CT Twelfth Inf., Co. D. After the war, he settled in MIssissippi and Louisiana. He was born in New Brunswick, CA - 1841/1844. He died in Wilkinson County, MS in 1915. His death certificate states that he was buried in Memorial Cemetery. After much searching, I found the only possible site - Memorial Baptist Church Cemetery, Amite County, MS. I have found the site - the church was torn down in 1942 to make room for Camp Van Dorn (a training ground for WWII soliders). After walking the existing grave stones, I did not find one for GGF Perkins; I believe he did not have the money for a stone. I think he deserves a stone and am in the process of trying to find the defunct church's records to prove that he is buried there. If so, and the stone is forthcoming, I will send pictures of the stone for history there. I plan to visit sometime in Fall 2012 or Spring 2013.
Thanks!

We are excited to find a civil war museum so close to where we live. We have lived here for almost 23 years and have a autistic daughter who is very into anything civil war. So we are looking forward to coming and visiting your museum soon. Take Care.
