The Old Jail Museum’s featured exhibit now through November is “Remembering Our Veterans.”
On display is information from the Revolutionary War to current day. Each war is highlighted with the percent of the U.S. population that fought, number killed, cost in dollars and names of those who served and are buried in the local cemetery.
A model of Thaddeus Kosciusko, for whom Kosciusko County is named, is presented in revolutionary period clothing. Also displayed are a Spanish-American War (1898) uniform, a Civil War (1861-1965) calvary ammunitions pouch, a World War I (1917-1918) bugle played by Private Everett Pawley, a small box respirator used during WW I and II, period uniforms and other military items.
The Old Jail Museum is located at 121 N. Indiana St., Warsaw. People can pay tribute to those who served the country in all branches of the military Wednesday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is by donation.
