Wayne County Historical Society

The opening exhibit is planned for March 11, 2012 and will illustrate how governments from both sides of the Civil War dealt with the issues of financing the war through the display of currency and financial papers from collectors throughout the Midwest.

Also included in this exhibit will be materials illustrating how local citizens coped with the lack of small change, an issue which plagued both north and south throughout the conflict. The most complete collection of Wayne County merchant tokens ever assembled will be on display.
