About New England Civil War Museum
The New England Civil War Museum and Research Center occupies a portion of Memorial Hall, which was purpose-built for use by Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) Civil War veterans in Rockville, Connecticut. Thomas F. Burpee Post #71 of the Grand Army of the Republic held their meetings in the Grand Hall from 1890 until 1929. Alden Skinner Camp #45 of the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War, their direct heir, have held their monthly meetings in the hall since 1890, making it the oldest continuously-used GAR Hall in the entire country.
