You never know what is going to come in the mail when you work at the Whittier Museum. Today we received this nifty little membership card for The Lincoln Legion signed by a Mary Saint (I think what is written) on February 12, 1911. The Lincoln Legion was established by Anti-Saloon League-founder Howard Hyde Russell in 1903. The organization was first called "The Lincoln League" after Abraham Lincoln. In 1912 it was renamed "The LincolnLee Legion" to reference Robert E. Lee to make it more appealing to southern states.

Tickets are now on sale for our next drive-in at Trinity Lutheran Church, Whittier, CA NEXT WEEK we will be showing a true holiday favorite "Elf" The movie will start at 6 PM (it gets dark much earlier now) and guests will be admitted to park as early as 4:30 PM. Get your tickets here: https://whittiermuseum.org/product/drive-in-movie-tickets/ Limited 25 availability! ... As a bonus: Trinity Lutheran Church is hosting pictures with Santa Claus from 4 PM till 5:30 PM. All are welcomed, but must bring their own cameras and wear a face mask! Check out our event's page here for more info: "Elf" at the Drive-In Theater & Santa Claus * Would you be interested in seeing a later showing of "Elf" on the same day?
