'Turnback Tuesday' features program for 1890 Memorial Day exercises
DERBY - Turnback Tuesday remembers the GAR (Grand Army of the Republic) Kellogg Post #26 of Derby.
The Derby Post was formed on April 11, 1867 and named after Colonel Elisha Strong Kellogg who died in the Civil War.
This program advertised the Memorial Day Exercises for May 30, 1890 at the Sterling Opera House. It was the GAR that created a general order for all posts to set aside May 30 as a day of remembrance of fallen comrades, known today as Memorial Day.
This program is a recent donation from Norman Hayden.
Thanks goes to the Derby Public Library staff for sharing interesting local history each week!
