MILFORD, PA — The Vintage Clothing Committee of the Pike County Historical Society has assembled a special exhibition to commemorate the 150th anniversary of President Lincoln’s assassination. Members of the committee are seen here with the stage costumes that belonged to Jennie Gourlay, an actress in the play being performed at Ford’s Theater the night of the President’s assassination. The costumes, currently on display at the Columns Museum, are being featured to help raise funds to have them stabilized and prepared for permanent display. A play titled “For the Benefit of Miss Jennie Gourlay” will be performed at the Water Wheel Café on Saturday, March 21, following a special dinner of Lincoln’s favorite foods to raise funds for the project. Dinner begins at 6 p.m. Tickets cost $60 and include dinner and the show, with tax and gratuity included. Call 570/296-8126.
