SC.GOV: The Official Web site of the State of South Carolina

This week’s new video on the SC Confederate Relic Room and Military Museum’s YouTube Channel features Registrar Rachel Cockrell discussing several WWI objects donated by Robert Brown.  Brown’s grandfather, Robert Tillman Brown, was a native of Sumter and collected these objects during the war. 

The museum incorporated many of these artifacts into the new exhibit “Forgotten Stories: SC Fights the Great War.”  The items featured in the video were not included in the exhibit. 

The museum’s site video can be accessed by visiting www.crr.sc.gov/videos or http://www.youtube.com/SCCRRMM.
