A nationally known artist has designed this 36" by 36", 100% silk scarf exclusively for the Junior League of Springfield, Illinois. It is designed in rich hues of azure blue, deep gold and black, and includes images of historic landmarks in Springfield. The JLS commissioned this stunning silk scarf to raise funds to benefit needy families in Springfield.

Six landmarks can be found on this gorgeous scarf that hold great significance for Springfield, and for the United States.

The scarf features the home of Abraham Lincoln, where the young attorney lived with his wife Mary Todd and their four sons from 1843 until 1861.

Also featured is the Lincoln-Herndon Law Office, where Mr. Lincoln and his partner, William H. Herndon, built their law practice. And it was at the Great Western Train Depot where Mr. Lincoln bid farewell to his friends and neighbors in March 1861 and headed for Washington, D.C. to be inaugurated as the 16th President of the United States.

The Old State Capitol of Illinois, a stately stone building completed in 1840, and the Executive Mansion, circa 1856, current home of the Governor of Illinois, can also be found on the scarf. As can the Condell House, one of the oldest homes in Springfield.

These images are framed in an intricate pattern that matches the metalwork of the balcony of the Illinois State Capitol.

Two museums have selected to display the JLS scarf as part of their museum exhibits, the Metropolitan Museum in New York City, and the museum of Women in Art in Washington, D.C. The Metropolitan Museum plans to display the scarf in their Lincoln exhibit area.

This beautiful scarf has been specially priced at $50, plus shipping.
