Not all history is pretty. As a matter of fact, much of it is ugly. But regardless of it's nature, all history is worthy of being studied and artifacts are one way that we can connect and learn from that history. In this episode, we're looking at some artifacts that came into The Gettysburg Museum of History that are connected to a dark past.
Note: The items shown in this video are for historic & educational purposes only. We in no way support the hateful ideologies that these items represented but do feel that learning from the past informs us in the present and gives us wisdom for the future.
