The New England Civil War Museum will be open twice each month through March. 

The doors will be open for exhibit viewing from noon to 3 p.m. on:

Dec. 8/22, 2013
Jan. 12/26, 2014
Feb. 9/23, 2014

The museum is run by the Alden Skinner Camp No. 45, Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War and is located in a fully preserved Grand Army of the Republic Hall on the second floor of the Vernon Town Hall. 

The hall looks like it did in the 1800s for post-war meetings. 

The museum features artifacts like uniforms, artwork, recruiting posters, weapons, and even a few personal items from local soldiers.
