Letters and Stories From the Elms Exhibit
Allie Shambaugh-Miller, a student at Drake University, volunteered as an intern with the Bess Streeter Aldrich Foundation during the summer of 2021. She accepted the very important job of helping the Foundation make a commemorative item for the Aldrich House’s 100th Birthday.
During her time with us, she put together a collection of letters written by Mrs. Aldrich during her years in Elmwood.
The booklet is available for purchase for $20.
