It's almost here!

The opening for the exhibition is just around the corner! Saturday, August 10th, to be exact. The exhibition is in the process of being shipped to the Independence Historical Museum and Art Center.  What better time to brush up on your Lincoln knowledge? The National Constitution Center has an interactive online game geared towards middle and high school aged children, but is also fun for adults. Follow the link below to play the educational game.
Lincoln Game

The opening of the exhibition is going to be full of fun, food, and excitement. The festivities will be at the Independence Historical Museum and Art Center. Starting at 11am, Abraham Lincoln will arrive in style by horse and carriage. Upon his arrival he will be sworn in as the 16th president and deliver his inaugural address. Once he has taken office he will have a storytime for children starting at 11:15am. Starting at 11am you can purchase BBQ from 2 B Smokin'. From 11:30 to 1:30, be entertained with music by Darrell Mullinax, take a tour of the museum and exhibition, and enjoy a pleasant carriage ride with Abe. This is a great way to spend the afternoon with family and friends.
