Anthony House. I will have to visit this "one day". Rochester is only about 2 1/2 hour drive from where I live but somehow we've not been there in many years. As for my follow up I'm hoping to get into the museum I talked about this weekend if the owner is opening it up. It isn't always open.bookwormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06589840841266507266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199270158927284616.post-49908399119872260172014-04-22T17:35:06.185-04:002014-04-22T17:35:06.185-04:00We have a small county museum a few miles west of ...We have a small county museum a few miles west of where we live, which has a Brady photo of Abraham Lincoln and a uniform coat which is said to have bloodstains of Lincoln from his assassination.

I found this patch on several websites including eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-York-Town-Line-Fire-Department-patch-/351049732733. I also found it on an informative article on Town Line http://www.buffalohistorygazette.net/2011/01/hamlet-of-town-line-south-in-1861.html.

I grew up in Rochester and I remember learning about the fight to preserve the Union, the Quakers and the Underground Railroad. Never was there one mention of course of Confederates. As a New Yorker, I'm looking forward to reading your follow-up about the Confederates in New York. Thanks for the share. Oh, and one of my favorite museums to visit growing up was the Susan B. Anthony House Museum in Rochester.
