Just After the Battle Opens
 
On Saturday, February 17, 2007, the Greater Ridgewood Historical Society held an opening reception for Just After the Battle, an exhibit of historic Civil War objects curated by Arthur Kirmss and Ellen Brody-Kirmss.  Titled after a Civil War song of 1864, Just After the Battle is a multifaceted exhibit ─ presenting over 250 authentic period relics and artifacts.  Included are weapons of the military, battlefield recoveries, domestic and personal items, photographs, Civil War money (North and South), patriotic and fraternal war era mementos, and much more. Members and friends of the Society, as well as costumed re-enactors from the 14th Brooklyn Company E, enjoyed the festivities.
