Here's Glenn Roosevelt, Lincoln re-enactor William Peck and Charles Beal at the grand opening of the Lincoln exhibit I discussed in my last post. Charles and Glenn loaned some great G.A.R. materials from their collections to be part of the exhibit. (The stuff from the Presidential Library is in much snazzier display cases, but I naturally have a soft spot in my heart for the material that relates to Orange County.)
.
The first lecture accompanying this exhibit will be this Wednesday, Feb. 3, 6-7:30pm at the Old Orange County Courthouse. Don McCue, Curator at the Lincoln Shrine in Redlands, will explain Lincoln’s relationship with the American West in a lecture called “Lincoln and California?” Please RSVP to 714-973-6610.
.
You'll also be able to visit this exhibit, the Orange County Archives, the Old Courthouse Museum, and the Victorian Howe-Waffle House Museum (across the street), during special weekend hours at this Saturday's Open House event, 10am to 4pm.
.
We're trying to do these open houses about four times a year, and they've been very, very popular. For us in the Archives, it's a great chance for patrons who couldn't normally visit during the week to do research. We also offer "behind the scenes" tours.
.
Upstairs in the Museum, families will be able to create nineteenth century-inspired crafts and play with replica toys. At noon, the Orange County Historical Commission will sponsor the showing of the 1940 classic movie “Abe Lincoln in Illinois." (See the trailer here.)
.
Admission is free and you can park in one place and see all of it. Hope to see you there!
.
I almost forgot to mention, (shame on me!), that Charles Beal will give a 30-minute PowerPoint presentation on his Orange County Civil War Graves project at the Yorba Linda Historical Society, Feb. 8, 7pm, at the Yorba Linda Community Center, 4501 Casa Loma Ave. I've been very impressed with the progress he's made over the years, and this should be a very interesting program.
