The McHenry County Civil War Round Table (MCCWRT) has also spent money for repairs to two items in the McHenry County Historical Society Museum in Union (where we met) and we had the opportunity to see where our money went.
One was the Civil War diary of John Brink notebook. He served from 1862 to 1863 and took a trip to Murfreesboro, Tn. after the Battle of Stones River. He was from McHenry County.
The other is also a Brink notebook which has the names of about 400 soldiers from McHenry County.
Both are now preserved and in the museum's Civil War exhibit, which also has a lot of GAR artifacts.
The topic for June's MCCWRT discussion group will be Civil War Veterans Organizations and will be held at the Panera Bread Company restaurant in Crystal Lake, Illinois.
