New Release: The New Jersey GAR Collection

The Hunterdon County Historical Society Archives is pleased to announce the release of a small collection of material from several different Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) posts in Hunterdon County: Collection No. 117, New Jersey GAR Collection.

This Collection consists of post-Civil War papers, pamphlets, records, and artifacts of New Jersey members of the Grand Army of the Republic. The items are related to GAR reunions, Memorial Day celebrations, burial services, and the records of individual GAR members.
