At Laurapalooza this year Bill Anderson said this Fall’s Wilder exhibit at the University of Michigan-Dearborn was the biggest since the Hoover exhibit in 1995. I’m so glad that as part of it’s new YouTube site the Herbert Hoover Presidential Library has uploaded a video they made of that Hoover exhibit. It really doesn’t give you the feel of what a nice large exhibit it was, but you can see some wonderful things from their collection, things Mansfield loaned them, and I think that is Laura’s sewing basket which you can usually see at the Walnut Grove museum. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. I put in a comment with some meta tags pointing out so things and if they approve it, you can use it to go exactly to some of the things I pointed out.

If you haven’t heard yet, Hoover is going to do a minor Wilder exhibit again this year as part of their annual Christmas Tree exhibit. Be sure to check it out.
