The tour will include the museum director relating the history of Clara Barton followed by how the research was conducted to fulfill the 16 year conservation and restoration of this forgotten gem from the Civil War era. 2 AIA learning units are available for those who need them and fun will be had by all. Join me there!

Wow, will you look at that wallpaper! I could see using that for a ceiling. I wonder if it's available commercially?
Mark I'll let you know what I find out! I suspect it was a recreation of what they had found in place.
Stefan I wish I could make it! Mark's idea is great!

Ditto on the wallpaper... love the color and the graphic. It's got to be a copy of an old paper... a great one. Sounds like a fun tour.
Hi guys, I heard back from one of the architects and he said that the wallpaper was made by this company.
