Dear mapsters,

Anyone in or near Chapel Hill must absolutely stop by the UNC Wilson
Library to see the exhibition of antique maps on display thru the end of
December. At the recent Cumming Map Society meeting there, I had the
privilege of seeing these maps, and we all heard from the collector, Dave
Davis of Atlanta. His wife was saying she missed the maps at home, so that
December closing date is probably pretty firm!

Check the Wilson Library website for hours, etc., but do make the effort if
you can, to see this fun exhibit.
Then go to the map library and say hello to Celia Pratt! Make a day of it.


Sadly, I was having fun and not taking notes, so I cannot review the
exhibit, beyond saying it was terrific. The Mouzon map is on display, as
well as many other classics covering the southeast.
