MEMBERS' TRIP
National Geographic Museum | President Lincoln’s Cottage | Washington, D.C.
In 1974, an accidental discovery led to the uncovering of what become known as Pit 1, near the burial ground of the first great Emperor of China, Qin Shi Huangdi. The underground deposit housed approximately 6,000 life-size figures, mostly infantrymen. Subsequent excavations at the site continued and over the years more discoveries were made. Other pits contained items including sixty-four chariots each manned by two soldiers with weapons, a cavalry of 108 horses, and armed cavalrymen. Arrangements have been made for Museum Members to visit the National Geographic Museum exhibition, Terra Cotta Warriors: Guardians of China’s First Emperor, where fifteen of the life-size figures will be on display along with weapons, armor, coins, and more.
That day we will also visit President Lincoln’s Cottage located on a picturesque hilltop in Washington, D.C., where Lincoln spent one quarter of his presidency. President Lincoln used the cottage as a quiet setting for important meetings, family relaxation, and solitary reflection as he pondered decisions of profound national importance. Opened to the public for the first time in 2008, our guided tour will offer an in-depth look at Lincoln the man and president.
