Lowell Gallery Civil War Exhibit
Guy Lefebvre of the Lowell Gallery has a terrific collection of Civil War prints and memorabilia. Many of the images used to illustrate my talk on Sunday about “Lowell and the Coming of the Civil War” came to me courtesy of Guy. Please visit his shop and check out this exhibit.
