Bucks County Civil War Library and Museum — Attraction in Doylestown

This museum and library has been on my bucket list for some time now and it was well worth the stop. It's located at 150 Pine Street in Doylestown down the street from the Court House. I came here with 4 friends and we took the tour of the 4 room museum. For a small place they have some very interesting pieces like the carbon copier/music box that was in the Lincoln White House. They have a varied collection of art work prints and figurines. Military uniforms and weaponry. Our volunteer tour guide was very knowledgeable and engaging as well of two other volunteers. The two female friends found it interesting too as their was a section for females who secretly served in the military, Mrs. LINCOLN and Belle Boyd a notorious Confederate spy. Stop in took less than an hour it's interesting and they can use...
