Three or more decades ago, when American Legion Post 99 closed, the Historical Society of Watertown acquired a quantity of their documents and artifacts.

It is a sad fact that small museums, such as ours, have limited space for proper storage and now that we are slowly cataloging our accumulated collection, it has become clear that while it is appropriate that we keep some of these items, we lack the room to house them all. On June 7, items will be on display and the public is invited to attend. The items will be offered to the families and friends of the veterans who belonged to and supported the American Legion Post 99.
