The Red Skelton Museum opened “The Year of the Pledge” exhibit for the celebration of the 250th anniversary of the United States of America.
Red’s recitation of his iconic Pledge of Allegiance aired on his television show on January 14, 1969, over 50 years ago.
This new exhibit features items from the collection surrounding Red’s Pledge, including awards, recordings, paintings and letters from various congressmen as well as stories about Mr. Laswell and Red’s inspiration for creating this pledge.
Connie Fuller (Ann Sheridan) surprises her stubborn husband, Bill (Jack Benny), by purchasing a dilapidated house in the countryside where George Washington was once rumored to have slept.

Laughing with Lincoln is historical theatre at its finest — authentic, sharply written, and hilarious.
Created by professional historian and Lincoln specialist, Warren Greer, this show blends laughter and vitality to reveal Lincoln not as a monument, but as a man. Whether for festivals, events, cruises, or stages, it’s a flexible, engaging experience for audiences of all ages.
