Annual Meeting plus Messengers of the Unseen: Mary Todd Lincoln and the Spiritualists presented by Mike Murschel

October 13 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm CDT

Annual Meeting election of officers and short reports on the health of the Museum. The meeting portion should last about 20 minutes.

How did a desecrated grave in Sycamore, Illinois lead to Bellevue Place where Mary Todd Lincoln was committed for insanity?  It’s a trail through the Fox River Valley, strewn with riots, seances, generals and detectives, all woven into the veil of Civil War Era Spiritualism. Presented by Spiritual Director, Mike Murschel.

UPDATE 10/10: We will NOT be recording this event as Mr. Murschel will be presenting it throughout the fall/winter at other venues.

In person event / FREE for Members / $5 for guests.
