Restored coat back on display at school
What a long,
strange trip it's been for Gloucester High School's once decaying Civil War era-coat.
Now restored to its tailored, but still historically tattered Confederate gray
self, it hangs handsomely ensconced in a museum-quality 3-D casing in a new
place of honor in the Massachusetts school's atrium. The coat, which for
decades had been displayed in a glass trophy case in the halls of the high
school, was once owned by Albert W. Bacheler, a celebrated Civil War veteran
who served as the school’s principal from 1883 to 1913. • Article
