Presidents Day Weekend: Lincoln, Church and the U.S. Civil War
February: When the U.S. Civil War began in 1861, all citizens were affected in some way and artist Frederic Edwin Church was no exception. Join us for themed tours that shed a little light on the influence of the Civil War on Church and his art.
