Art At Lunch: Abraham Lincoln and The Great Central Sanitary Fair
March 28, 2012
Comment on Facebook
In June of 1864, a collection of fair buildings went up in Philadelphia’s Logan Circle to bring to town the Great Central Fair, a two-week exposition of donated goods and services, artwork, commercial products and curiosities that raised over $1 million for medicine and bandages for Union soldiers. Historian Michael Wunsch brings to life this rousing moment in Philadelphia history, highlighting the acclaimed 1,500 piece art gallery that premiered at the fair as well as President Abraham Lincoln’s historic visit to the festivities.
