Loudoun County Civil War Artifacts

Presented by John Creamer

A Civil War exhibit with more than 300 artifacts collected by local resident John Creamer will be on display in the Mercer Room of Thomas Balch Library from June 1st to July 31st.

Items include belt buckles, rifles, artillery, and currency, most of which have been found throughout Leesburg and Loudoun County. A number of the items are associated with the Battle of Ball’s Bluff.

“A lot of the items were found on construction sites,” Creamer said, referencing Potomac Crossing and the property behind the old Walmart, located off Edwards Ferry Road. “I have enjoyed the fact that it was recovered and people can see it. Had it not been recovered it would have been gone forever.”

The exhibit is viewable during the library’s operating hours: Monday and Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Tuesday and Thursday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., Wednesday from 2 to 8 p.m., Saturday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Sunday from 1 to 5 p.m. For more information, please call 703-737-7195 or email balchlib@leesburgva.gov.
