Historical Figures Bookmarks

Quite a while ago, we ordered some free bookmarks from the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond. We forgot about them....and then early this week they showed up in the mail. We were excited. We received seventeen bookmarks with biographies, quotes, trivia, and web resources for each person. It also shows the bill or coin that the person is on. It was pretty neat to see the $100,000 bill with Woodrow Wilson, or the $5000 bill with James Madison.
Olivia took out our US Presidents placemat to match up the bookmarks with their photos.

Here's the front of the placemat.

and the back.

Of course, the bookmarks were not of just presidents. Here's what we received:

  • Woodrow Wilson
  • James Madison
  • Thomas Jefferson
  • George Washington Carver
  • Booker T. Washington
  • Abraham Lincoln
  • Andrew Jackson
  • Benjamin Franklin
  • Susan B. Anthony
  • Sacagawea
  • Hiram Ulysses Grant
  • George Washington
  • Maggie Walker
  • Alexander Hamilton
  • John F. Kennedy
  • Franklin Roosevelt
  • Dwight D. Eisenhower

Unfortunately, the Federal Reserve of Richmond is not accepting any new requests just now. They have a lot of orders to fill. But they suggest checking back occasionally to see if they are ready for new orders.
