Dr. Milstead was the guest curator for the Fifth Maine Museum’s new exhibit in 2023 by the same name. The exhibit includes reproduction Civil War jackets and a reproduction nurse’s uniform, on loan from Carolyn Lawson. Both Dr. Milstead and Carolyn Lawson will share some of the historical details of these garments and how they relate to the Fifth Maine Regiment specifically.
