Tavern and Civil War Museum

We visited The Netherland's Tavern and Civil War Museum which was rebuilt and furnished by  Russell B. Anderson. 

This was an awesome outdoor museum......hope you enjoy this as much as we did.

This is the gateway to Russell B. Anderson's home, the gentleman who rebuilt the tavern and furnished it as it was in the 1700s.
