Taylor Sword Update

Ed Root writes about the Taylor Sword…

Just wanted to update everyone about the Taylor sword display at Nitschmann Middle School.

John Rohal and I met with Brett Peters at Historic Bethlehem’s Museums & Sites Kemerer Museum. 

Brett is continuing to update and change the display and is working with administration to further the study of Civil War and local history.

Whereas there was originally not room for the Taylor poster we will now be able to incorporate it. This is a copy of an original poster donated by Jack Stanley.

I also gave Brett an original artifact piece made by Barry Arnold. This is just an example of ongoing work to periodically change the display and keep it fresh and interesting.

At the Kemerer Museum there is now a marvelous program about historic Bethlehem hotels dating from pre Civil War through the 1920’s. I encourage you all to visit.
