Money Talks at the Bushwhacker Museum

Dave Sorrick, owner of In God We Trust LLC in Mindenmines, MO, will bring his presentation on old U.S. coins and currency to the Bushwhacker Museum, 212 W. Walnut Street, Nevada, at 12 p.m. Saturday, June 15.

As part of the Living History series during Bushwhacker Days 2024, Sorrick will present “Money Talks: Odd and Interesting Coins of the Nineteenth Century” as part of the slate of free activities offered by the museum and the Vernon County Historical Society.

Sorrick’s discussion of ten coins and banknotes in use before, during and after the Civil War coincides with the Freedom’s Frontier traveling exhibit Waging War: The Cost and Currency of the Civil War appearing at the museum in June. This exhibit is on loan from the Watkins Museum of History from the KU College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Lawrence, KS.

The Bushwhacker Museum is open free of charge on Saturday, June 15 during Bushwhacker Days.
