2010 MHAA Raffle

Mort Kunstler and P. Buckley Moss have donated prints for a raffle which will raise funds for MHAA’s educational programs.   The prints will be expertly framed by Mark Moore of Framecraft in Warrenton, a supporting business member.  

Both prints have local historic topics as their themes.  The P. Buckley Moss print, “Teddy’s Ride”, depicts President Theodore Roosevelt riding to Warrenton to show his army generals that they were getting too soft, his opinion.  While in Warrenton, he had lunch at the Warren Green Hotel that now serves as Fauquier County government offices.  After lunch, Roosevelt and his generals returned to Washington having ridden about 100 miles in one day.  It is said that Roosevelt did change horses.   This print was commissioned for the 250th Anniversary of Fauquier County.

The second print that will be raffled is Mort Kunstler’s “The Gray Ghost”.   This Snow Print Edition depicts Col. John S. Mosby and some of his Rangers riding out of Warrenton with the Fauquier County courthouse.  

Raffle tickets can be obtained at MHAA events, from the office at Atoka, from Board Members and MHAA’s website, www.mosbyheritagearea.org.   Tickets will be $20 per ticket or $100 for 6 tickets.  The 6 tickets can be split between the two prints.
