The Sycamore History Museum is proud to announce the grand opening of their new exhibition, “General Dutton’s America” this Saturday, April 26th, 2014 from 1-3pm. By researching General E.F. Dutton through letters, newspapers, photographs, maps, and artifacts one can gain a better understanding of Sycamore and its history. Although hundreds of stories could have been told, this exhibit features Sycamore during the Pioneer era, the Civil War and the Gilded Age. This exhibit combines the history of one person with local history and national history.
Keep watch for additional information about the on-line exhibit that will accompany the real exhibit. In the meantime, check out the Sycamore History Museum’s collection page and do a key word search for “Dutton.” Here you can get a glimpse of some of SHM’s artifacts connected to Dutton’s story.
Cost to attend the Opening is $5 for Adults and children under 14 are free. This exhibit and programs are generously funded by The Douglas C. and Lynn M. Roberts Family Foundation, the Dutton family, and the Mary E. Stevens Concert and Lecture Fund. Program Details
