This was sent to me by my cousin Dejah. (Hi, Dejah!) The Germantown Historical Society in Pennsylvania has opened an exhibit on the ransom kidnapping of four-year-old Charley Ross, for whom the Charley Project is named. It includes all the original ransom notes.
Why the exhibit is called “Kidnapped: Lost and Found” I do not know, seeing as how Charley was never found.
Wish this was closer to me in PA, I’d love to go there!
Unfortunately I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to go there; I’m from on the wrong side of Ohio, near Indiana, not Pennsylvania. But I’ve been to Philly a few times and might go again sometime. Of course if I do visit the exhibit I’ll tell the museum people about the Charley Project and give them a few of my business cards. 🙂
Have you ever been to the Connecticut Glass Museum to see the Charley Ross glass bottle?
No. I wasn’t aware that the museum, or the bottle, existed.
