Society of the Cincinnati - Part II

The Society of Cincinnati
The Anderson House is also the National Headquarters for the Society and they have an amazing collection of artifacts, journals and letters from the American Revolution.  We were allowed to call up any documents, map, artifact in their collection to study and in many cases -- touch! 
 Powder horn and canteen
 Marquis D'Lafayette
 Many of the books, journals that we called up for study. 
 The other teachers in my group as we look at and study the artifacts before us
Our fearless leader Eleesha holding a replica of the Charleville French Gun.  Not to be confused with a Brown Bess
 Dueling Pistol
 A Brown Bess and French Charleville Gun.  Notice the sabers on the right



 A hand written letter from George Washington
 And I am holding it!!!  A goose bump moment with my friend Georgette behind me.
