MILITARY MUSEUM. 4
Simultaneous with the opening and dedication of the capitol January 1st, 1879, the Museum was formally opened to the public, when it was visited with much interest by a large concourse of the citizens of the State, then congregated at Lansing.. The sight of the "Old Flags" revived in the minds of alt recollections of past victories and defeats, of friends lost and a country saved.
High noon we meet! The opening year We welcome as an omen clear, of brighter, better days in store, When violence is heard no more; When the dear flag, without a stain, O'er every State supreme shall reign.
