Abraham Lincoln Is Coming To Verona, Wisconsin
Abraham Lincoln has a special place in our American life, and is my favorite President. His story, and his place in our national drama, will be featured during a bus stop in Verona Friday November 14 from 9-5, and Saturday November 15 from 9-4 at the Verona Public Library. Take yourself….take a kid….
The “ABRAHAM LINCOLN: SELF-MADE IN AMERICA” BICENTENNIAL TOURa mobile museum exhibit was developed by the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum (ALPLM) in Springfield, Illinois. The exhibit is free of charge to the public and will travel the United States over the next two years inspiring visitors with the story of Lincoln’s life and accomplishments. The only exhibit of its type in the country, the mobile museum uses an engaging mixture of interactive elements, graphics, facsimile documents and artifacts inside a 53-foot long, double expandable trailer to commemorate the Lincoln Bicentennial.
The exhibition examines Lincoln’s life from his poor beginnings to his ascension to the presidency and his assassination. Highlights include a visual recreation of Lincoln’s 1861 Farewell Address from a train car in Springfield as he left for the White House, and the award-winning “The Civil War in Four Minutes” video presentation.
