Milford Museum Presents Alfred T.A. Torbert Exhibit

The Milford Museum has announced that they will hold an opening for the new Alfred T.A. Torbert exhibit on March 21 at 5:00 PM . This exhibit is thanks to donations from the family of the late Marvin Schelhouse who was considered an expert on General Torbert.

“The family has generously donated many items that belonged to the general and his wife, Mary,” Claudia Leister, Executive Director of the museum, said. “The items include a beautiful goblet set, a music box that he likely brought from Paris where he served as United States Consul General for some time. The artifacts were collected over the years by Marvin and
preserved beautifully.”

The museum closed the month of January in order to create special exhibit space for the artifacts. Some of the photos in the collection have never been seen before, including a wedding photo of the general and his wife.

The public is welcome to attend the opening of the exhibit and there will be refreshments available.
