The Daughters of Union Veterans of the Civil War is expanding its national office and museum in Springfield, Illinois. The organization, whose members are all direct female descendants of Union Civil War veterans, recently bought an updated, 2,800 square-foot “American foursquare” home next to the Daughters’ museum and office at Walnut and Governor streets.
The 1898 home will be converted into research, library and special exhibit space, as well as quarters for organization trustees visiting Springfield. A children’s room is also planned.
