Lynn Massachusetts Grand Army of the Republic

Just a few reasons to visit:

• Built in 1885, the only remaining free-standing building purpose-built for a GAR in the entire country!

• Has on display the last flag to fly over Richmond before the city fell to Union troops on April 3rd, 1865.

• Located in the center of the grand hall is the capstan that was onboard the USS Kearsarge when she defeated and sank the confederate raider the CSS Alabama off Cherbourg, France on June 19, 1864!

• Very dedicated and knowledgeable volunteers!
