Described the 80th anniversary festivities planned for the Henry Art Gallery. It opened to the public 02/27/1927. "The Henry Art Gallery was founded in 1927 after Horace C. Henry, who was born in 1844 and was a veteran not only of the Civil War but of the Battle of Gettysburg (and of Pickett's Charge, no less), donated his vast collection of art so that it would not be broken up. With the art, he also donated the money for a building to house the art, but he did not require that the pieces in his collection forever remain in view."
