The Lincoln Museum in Fort Wayne, Indiana

The Lincoln Museum in Fort Wayne, Indiana has scheduled some interesting programs for the summer.

On Thursday, July 26, 2007 at 7 pm, Donna McCreary will talk about her new book, Fashionable First Lady, the Victorian Wardrobe of Mary Lincoln and offer a visual presentation.
