A historical exhibit over a year in the making will soon be completed and on display for the public. 

Joey Long, Director of the CH Moore Homestead and DeWitt County Museum explains the Picture Perfect Project is an initiative to take historical photos, make them larger, and print them onto material that can better withstand the lighting and moisture that can degrade pictures over time. 

Long was thrilled with the number of people who came forward to sponsor the photo restoration. She notes they have too many to fit on their gallery wall, so in the month of July, the museum will display the photos all throughout the mansion. 

Since many of the pictures are one of a kind, the museum had to be selective in deciding who they would trust to recreate and reprint them. Long indicates they worked with Mark Woods of Woods Studio. 

Long is grateful to all the people who made this project possible, and notes that all their and her hard work has finally paid off. Visit the museum during the month of July to see the newly restored photos, and learn more by visiting chmoorehomestead.org.
