NYSMM

The mission of the New York State Military Museum and Veterans Research Center is to preserve, interpret and disseminate the story, history and records of New York State's military forces and veterans. The collection is divided into the museum and the library/archives holdings... The museum houses over 25,000 artifacts dating from the Revolutionary War to today that relate to New York State's military forces, the state's military history and the contributions of New York's veterans. The artifacts include uniforms and accoutrements, weapons, battlefield souvenirs and fine art. A significant portion of the museum's collection is from the Civil War. Notable artifacts from this conflict include the uniform of Colonel Elmer Ellsworth's (the Union's first martyr), the medical kit of Jubal Early's surgeon, and the uniform and bugle of Gustav Schurmann (General Philip Kearny's boy bugler). The collection also contains significant holdings relating to New York's 27th Division in World War I..
