Although it may be hard to find, on of my favorite mysteries is loosely set in a museum that I use to run:

The Sherman Letter: A Novel of History and Mystery
by Leonard Palmer 

Hardcover: 200 pages ; Dimensions (in inches): 0.75 x 9.00 x 6.00 
Publisher: Write Way Pub; (April 1995) 
ASIN: 1885173083 

It was a small press run of 5 or 10,000 copies and out of print now, but might be in your local library.  It also looks like it is available from Amazon:  http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1885173083/002-3321632-5840821?vi=glance#product-details

I admit I am biased but it is a good read, and also contains some civil war letters from Wisconsin.  Don't ask who the characters were based on, I'm sworn to secrecy...
