ONLY TWO WEEKS LEFT TO SEE this historic flag that draped President Abraham Lincoln's casket in April of 1865. You can see this piece of American History in a glass case on the second floor of the Watson-Curtze Mansion until October 11, 2022. It will be removed from public view to meet curatorial guidelines regarding preservation of textiles. The flag will remain in our collection.

If you attended our gala on Friday night, you'll want to click through these 277 photos! You can download digital images free, and your download will not have the watermark on it.
