Civil
War Books as Well as Instruments in Heritage Hall of Watertown, Wisconsin
A
collection of Civil War books was the inspiration for the creation of a library
and museum in Heritage Hall in Watertown, Wisconsin, home of the 1st Brigade
Band.
The
Civil War books, with an estimated value of $18,000, were a gift to the
Heritage Military Music Foundation from the late William “Bill” Kwapil, a Watertown businessman who was a staunch supporter
of the foundation’s legendary 1st Brigade Band.
The Civil War books are now displayed in renovated rooms in Heritage
Hall, which houses the foundation’s collections.
For
more information about the band, its history, pictures of instruments, sound
clips of its music recordings, or its schedule, see the Web site www.1stbrigadeband.org .
