Description

This calendar features the title, brief explanatory text, and small black and white photographs of the historic homes which are featured within the calendar on the front cover as well as a list of sponsors. The inside of the front cover shows a color photograph of the Ulysses S.

A page showing the calendars for the months of January and February is below.

The remaining historic homes featured are the Pierre Menard House, the Abraham Lincoln House, the John Deere House, the David Davis House, and the Joseph Smith House. All pages are wire-spiral bound.
