🕵️‍♂️ Calling All History Detectives & Genealogy Buffs! 🔎
We need your help to solve a 150-year-old mystery!

The Maryland Military Department's Museum holds an extraordinary, one-of-a-kind treasure: a collection of historic soldier photographs. While we have a full list of names for these Maryland heroes, we can't match the names to their faces and it’s high time we fix that.

Your Mission:
Help the Maryland Center of Military History (MCMH) put names to these faces and reconnect these historic photos with the personal stories of the soldiers who lived them.

Put your detective skills to work and help us honor these local heroes!

👉 Share this post and help us crack the case!
