Presented by Erika Holst, Curator of Collections, Springfield Art Association

Learn about the furniture and decorative items that filled Illinois homes in the years before the Civil War–what they were, where they came from, and their significance to their owners.

Bring your lunch and join us for a different speaker and topic on the third Wednesday of each month. Brown Bag Lectures are held at the ISM Research & Collections Center at 1011 E. Ash St. in Springfield. For additional information, please contact events@illinoisstatemuseum.org or (217) 782-0061.
