Absolutely amazing, Laurie! (Boy, would I love to have a job there!!)

They do show General Grant's forage cap and I saw a painting of Phil Sheridan, so I'm sure that they have a LOT of stuff! I've bookmarked the site -

Thanks for sharing this wonderful treasure!

RE: Amazing Collection
That's amazing and certainly rivals the Smithsonian's collection. I never cease to be amazed how lifelike Rockwell's paintings were. What a fantastic artist he was. There's a small restaurant in Arlington, Vermont I've been to many times over the past 20 years in which the owner's mother is a waitress. She was the model for "The Babysitter" and just gushes about him.
