This is a GAR Souvenir Medal for the 30th National Encampment that was held in Saint Paul, Minnesota in 1896. The top brass bar has the word souvenir with the original pin on the back. Suspended from that is a medallion stating "30th National Encampment St Paul Sept. 1-4, 1896" with interlocking GAR letters inside a laurel wreath circle. This is a beautiful piece from the collection of noted collector Don Limpert (1927-2022). Don
Limpert was a long-time collector of memorabilia from the veterans of the Civil
War with an emphasis on the Grand Army of the Republic, the Union veterans of
the Civil War organization. He saw the possibilities of combining his vast
collection of GAR memorabilia with an original Grand Army of the Republic post
building that was available to purchase in downtown Eaton Rapids, Michigan. He
purchased the building in 2012, and the building became the Michigan Grand Army
of the Republic Memorial Hall and Museum. After his passing in 2022, his
collection was sold and now is your chance to own a piece of that astounding
collection.
