They found the perfect place in 1901 and in 1911 the monument was design by a New Yorker architect named Henry Bacon and the monument cost 2 millions dollars. The structure was based on a greek structure with 32 columns and it represent the states at the time lincoln was death.
I like to tell my readers to use their home canned goods within 12 months of the canning date, but the storage life can be prolonged by many years if they remain sealed and stored properly. Most canned foods depreciate in quality after about two years.
I have eaten dry mixes that were 12 years past the expiration date, canned food that was 6 years past and kept eggs for 6 months without refrigeration. Handled and stored properly they say eggs will last over a year entirely without refrigeration. I have encountered canned food that was bad.
