From the July 2010 WECT TV.
The Cape Fear Museum in 2010 received a $27,000 grant from the Institute for Museum and Library Services over a two-year period. That money and other money will be used to preserve the uniform (expected to cost $17,000) and two flags: a 34-star US and a Second National Confederate.
The US flag was shipped off first in July where it is expected to take six months to a year to treat it. The Confederate flag was shipped off in Jan. 2011 and the uniform in July 2011. The museum expects to display all three items in 2012.
Great to Save Stuff Like This. --Old B-R'er
