About G.A.R. Hall and Museum

The Grand Army of the Republic Hall and Museum in Lynn honors the Union soldiers of the Civil War. The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is described as one of the last surviving buildings in the United States still used for its original purpose. Visitors can see the interior, which the site describes as a time capsule from 1886, along with a collection tied to the GAR medal and Civil War history. The museum is run with help from the Friends of the GAR, a volunteer group, and hosts lectures and events through the General Lander Civil War Round Table. The site reports ongoing renovation and an accessible elevator project, so tour availability has changed over time.
