G2G: Rebecca Boone's gift from Daniel - Rebecca at the Well cameo. I have it

Question

My mom - Alverta Leaney Figari was born in LaPorte, IN and is a decendant of Daniel Boone.  She did extensive research on the Boone family because she was the oldest daughter of the lineage and for that, she was given the cameo - Rebecca at the Well - which I have received as the oldest daughter.  I desparately want to get this cameo to a Boone Museum in honor of my mom.  I could use some guidance.  If you can help,

Answer 1

I would contact someone at the Lindenwood University's  Daniel Boone Home & Heritage Center.  You could also post a picture of it and the story on their Facebook page.   https://www.facebook.com/BooneHome?ref=stream&hc_location=stream

the University might be the best option, but there's also http://www.booneassociation.com/ and http://www.boonesociety.org/

And a picture would be great!! If you're not a member of WikiTree, I don't think you can upload a photo. If you'd like to send a jpg to me, I can upload it to her profile. You've given your mom's name, but photo credit should be to you, so include your name.

Thanks!! Liz (e-mail me at ancestor (at) 2listen.us )

Answer 2

It would be nice to take a picture of it and upload it to Rebecca's profile.

Answer 3

I am on the board of the Lexington History Museum, Inc., in Lexington, Fayette County, KY, where Boone lived for a while.  While he was serving in the Virginia legislature as the representative from Fayette County, he introduced the resolution to charter the town of Lexington.  Our Museum would be interested.  Thanks for considering.
