Vol. XI, Episode 5

Manning Force's Music Box

We are back at the Hayes Presidential Library and Museum with Kristina Smith for another Out of the Vault episode. The feature is a music box that played four French songs. This is a newer acquisition for the museum which fits very well in the Hayes collection. This music box, owned by a Medal of Honor recipient, coming to the Museum ties two close friends together even further. Enjoy this story about the friendship of Manning Force and Rutherford B. Hayes coming out of the vault through this music box.

Special Thank You!
