These photos of a stained-glass window at the old Grand Army of the Republic Hall in Rockville, Conn., don't really do it justice. I popped into the Hall, which now houses the terrific New England Civil War Museum, for a quick visit last weekend. Civil War veterans swapped old war stories and probably hoisted a beer or two in the place back in the day. Today, Civil War artifacts such as this fill cases throughout the second-floor room.

By the way, you can now "like" John Banks' Civil War Blog on Facebook. I am confident it could be a life-altering experience.
