Dedication of the Gen. Abner C. Harding Collection
Hewes Library, Upper Level

One of the primary founders of Monmouth College, Abner Clark Harding (1807-1874) donated the land for the original campus, endowed its first professorship, and commanded a Civil War infantry regiment composed largely of Monmouth College students. He was also a U.S. Congressman and a frontier industrialist who helped bring the railroad to western Illinois. Harding’s descendants have graciously donated a collection of his personal effects to Monmouth College—specifically his brigadier general’s dress sword, a photographic portrait by Mathew Brady, an engraved walking stick and a family Bible. Members of the Harding family will formally present the important collection to Monmouth College. Refreshments served.
