Chicago Civil War show this Saturday at the DuPage County Fairgrounds in Wheaton, IL. The show is open to the public from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM on Saturday 4/18/09, with an "early bird" pass available to allow entrance at 8:00 AM. This is a one day show.
Even if you are not a collector you might enjoy seeing some original items. Some years they have had some very good displays: cavalry items, specific unit items, rare confederate uniforms.... you name it. I saw this on another forum and thought I'd pass it on, it's a good chance to check out Civil War items if you have the interest, or have never been exposed to original equipment before. I am in no way connected to this, just wanted to post it for the interest of all.
