April 20th - Opening of the Lincoln Exhibit at the Sanderson Museum
FOUR SCORE AND SEVEN YEARS AGO …
Two years after the speech in Gettysburg that touched the nation, President Abraham Lincoln died at the hands of John Wilkes Booth. This important statesman was assassinated in 1865, 150 years ago, while watching “Our American Cousins” with his wife, Mary Todd Lincoln, at Ford’s Theatre in Washington. Chris Sanderson memorialized this famous man by collecting many very interesting and unusual artifacts which will be on display for this special exhibit.

Horace Pippin: The Way I See It

One of the leading figures of 20th-century art, Horace Pippin (1888-1946) is known for his insightful, expressive and bold paintings.

Pippin vividly depicted a range of subject matter, from intimate family moments and floral still lifes to powerful scenes of war, history and religion. Horace Pippin: The Way I See It will include 65 paintings-close to half of the artist's oeuvre-assembled from museums and private collections across the United States. The Brandywine River Museum of Art will be the only venue for this exhibition, the first major exhibition of the artist's work in more than 20 years.
