Civil War Union Canteen

This rusted Union canteen, discovered in the 1960s, is a tangible piece of history from the Battle of Fort Blakely in 1865. Its worn surface and holes tell a story of use during one of the final clashes of the Civil War, just days before the Confederate surrender.

Though missing its canvas straps and showing its age, this canteen offers a powerful connection to the soldier who once carried it. A relic of resilience and sacrifice, it serves as a reminder of the hardships endured during one of the nation’s most pivotal moments.
