Civil War

Rare labeled photographs of men who served under battle flags preserved at the Iowa State Historical Society and relics from "Auntie" Woods- the Clara Barton of Jefferson County- help illustrate the role played by local citizens. In 2009 the Iowa Lincoln Bicentennial Committee endorsed our display of artifacts which link Southeast Iowa to the life and times of Abraham Lincoln.
