Lincoln, New Hampshire: Mural: Ike's 1955 Visit

Eisenhower Mural At Clark's Museum

The two murals that once hung in the Lincoln Post Office have since been relocated to the Clark's Trading Post Museum. This move was necessitated due to the PO's expansion, and the museum was willing to take them for display. All that hangs now in the post office are two small replicas.
