Civil War Days at David Davis Mansion

Had a long day at the David Davis Mansion on July 20, 2013. 

I dressed comfortably so I could record the event.

This is Laura explaining our Soldiers Aid Society.

Part 3

 Miss Marilynn Ferricks found a nice collar.

 J and H Dry Goods tent.  Very reasonable but not my size.  Shucks!

 Loved this dress for only $100  but you won't believe the waist size.

 Ladies of Charity tent

 Miss Liz always has the finest things.  I really envy her array.  She knows her stuff even for representing a Southern lady with ties to the North.

 The Lincolns arrive in style to the dance under the tent full of sweat knatts.

 I really loved the little girls that came in their cute period dress.  Often more authentically dressed than some of the grown ups I saw there.

Here's is the opening intro to Angels In Calico up to the point where she asked there be no video.

Local Story from McLean County:  Maureen Barnes

(up to the point where the batteries died in my camera)
Looks like she is a dulcimer player too.
