The story
The Grand Army of the Republic Hall, also known as the General Frederick W. Lander Post No. 5, Grand Army of the Republic, is a historic building in Lynn, Massachusetts, United States. The hall was built in 1885 by members of the Grand Army of the Republic, a fraternal veterans organization, as a meeting hall and memorial to the Union Army veterans of the Civil War. It was the largest of the many such halls built by the organization's members. Only 13 still exist; this is the only one in Massachusetts. On May 7, 1979, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places. The hall is now the Grand Army of the Republic Museum.
