We do like to try to present suggestions that libraries, museums, and other organizations can use for their group.  Often it’s just easy to present what others around the country are doing for the Centennial.

In this case, we go to the Bridgeton Public Library in New Jersey, which has assembled an exhibit of letters from native sons describing conditions.  This should be an easy one for many organizations scratching around for ideas.  Click here.

Just a reminder:  whatever programs and exhibits you may do, please keep us informed here!
