Saturday, March 20, 2010. Original Artifact Returned to Rockcliffe. We are pleased to announce the gracious return of an original artifact from the Cruikshank family to Rockcliffe! She graciously donated the chair to Rockcliffe, and her daughter and son-in-law brought the chair to Hannibal last week. THANK YOU so much to Alice Lindbergh for the chair, and to her daughter and son-in-law Karen and Rob Schull for bringing it to Hannibal. We deeply appreciate your kindness! Tuesday, January 5, 2010.
