The CH Moore Homestead has on display a project that was over a year in the making, but the full display will be taken down next week. 

Joey Long, Director of the CH Moore Homestead and DeWitt County Museum, explains that when it comes to the Picture Perfect Project, they had over twice the amount of photos than what was originally intended. During the month of July, all 45 photos that were restored were displayed throughout the house. 

Long says that they will rotate the photos that are on the gallery wall periodically, and the extras will be protected in storage. She hopes everyone takes their opportunity to see the whole collection before it's taken down on July 31st. 

One of the major benefits of enlarging and restoring these historical photos is the details that you can find. Long points to a very small photo they received, that once it was enlarged, revealed that the man pictured was missing a leg, an injury that could have been sustained during the Civil War. 

If you'd like to see all of the restored photos on display throughout the mansion, the homestead is located at 219 E Woodlawn Street in Clinton.
