SUMMARY:Exhibit Closing: G.I. Joe: America’s First Action Figure
DESCRIPTION:Closes Sunday\, March 9 \nFor centuries\, children have collected and played with toy soldiers. Early examples of soldiers made from stone\, clay\, or metal can be traced back to the time of ancient Egypt. \nBy the late 19th and early 20th centuries\, mass-produced toy soldiers made of lead\, tin\, cardboard\, or molded plastic could be found on the market. These soldiers were favorites of children who set them up and moved them as army groups. But as fun as they were\, there was a problem. None of these soldiers could actually move their arms or legs and be posed in different positions. \nThen\, in 1964 Hassenfeld Brothers (HASBRO) introduced the G.I. Joe action figure. G.I. Joe represented soldiers from the United States Army\, Navy\, Air Force\, and Marines and were a huge step up from anything else on the toy soldier market at that time. Their bodies featured 21(!) moving parts and joints. They could kneel\, sit\, lay down\, stand\, and bend their knees and elbows. Not only that\, each figure came with basic fatigues\, boots\, cap\, and dog tags while the packaging showed images of additional uniforms\, accessories\, and vehicles that could be added to make them even more realistic and fun. By 1966\, sales of G.I. Joe accounted for 66% of HASBRO’s profits. \nAs successful as G.I. Joe was\, he was also a reflection of culture and tastes. As the Vietnam War escalated in the late 1960s\, sales of the action figure dipped as people turned away from things military in nature. In response\, Joe took a training hiatus for a few years then returned in the 1970s ready for a life of action and adventure rather than a strictly military one. \nFrom the beginning\, G.I. Joe action figures allowed children to explore all kinds of heroic and daring adventures. Kids could create their own scenarios using their imagination rather than being told how to play as in scripted video games. This kind of creative and imaginative play has been important for every generation\, and for the past sixty years the G.I. Joe action figure has been leading the charge.

SUMMARY:Second Friday Lecture: Wildfire\, Miss Clampitt\, and the Wonder Girl from the West: Early Women Sculptors of Abraham Lincoln
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, March 14  |  12pm – 1pm  |  Presented by Mr. Dave Wiegers  \nIn the middle of the 19th century\, women were not generally a force in American sculpture. Art\, and especially sculpture\, were a male-centric occupation. Three women sculpted images of Abraham Lincoln in the 1860s and 1870s\, and each has an interesting story. Two of these women sculptors\, Vinnie Ream (Hoxie) and Sarah Fisher Ames\, would produce images of Lincoln that would be displayed in the United States Capitol building. A third\, Edmonia Lewis\, broke many barriers of race and gender to become a well-known sculptor. Each of these women has a unique story and\, other than Ream\, they have not had their stories widely told.

SUMMARY:“Too Much for Human Endurance”: The George Spangler Farm Hospitals and the Battle of Gettysburg
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, March 22  |  1pm – 2pm  |  Presented by Ron Kirkwood \nThe blood stains are gone\, but the worn floorboards remain. The doctors\, nurses\, and patients who toiled and suffered and ached for home at the Army of the Potomac’s XI Corps hospital at the George Spangler Farm in Gettysburg have long since departed. Happily\, though\, their stories remain\, and noted journalist and George Spangler Farm expert Ronald D. Kirkwood brings these people and their experiences to life in “Too Much for Human Endurance”: The George Spangler Farm Hospitals and the Battle of Gettysburg. \nUsing a massive array of firsthand accounts\, Kirkwood re-creates the sprawling XI Corps hospital complex and the people who labored and suffered there—especially George and Elizabeth Spangler and their four children\, who built a thriving 166-acre farm only to witness it nearly destroyed when war paid them a bloody visit that summer of 1863. Stories rarely if ever told of nurses\, surgeons\, ambulance workers\, musicians\, teenage fighters\, and others are weaved seamlessly through gripping\, smooth-flowing prose.
