Warren Sons of Confederate Veterans Camp #652 9th Ark. Infantry hosted a civil war exhibit at the Bradley County Veterans Museum. The display took place in conjunction with the Pink Tomato Festival which is held annually in Warren.  The display consisted of original Civil War weapons, accouterments, projectiles, and other artifacts.

SCV pamphlet, brochures, and applications were distributed to any one that appeared interested. The members of the Veterans Museum Board invited us back for the next year. We will have at least two new members at the next meeting as a result of the exhibit.
