Legacy Museum-Troop County Archives, Lagrange, Ga.

Yesterday, Hank and I finally got to stop by the Legacy Museum in Lagrange, Georgia. Hank's great-grandfather was very famous in this little town and the Civil War. He was a photographer during the war. Right before we sold the house, we found in the attic a real treasure. It was a homemade box with ledgers, journals, pictures, diaries, and medals of his great-grandfather Julius Lindsay Schaub. We took this items to donate to the museum. They were so excited. The medal, in the original box was worth a fortune, he said. They didn't have one in the museum like it. Anyway, he said it would be on display very soon to stop by again. Schaub pictures are all over town he said from the early 1800's. How cool is that?
