March 1, 2022 – Friends of Lincoln Trail Homestead State Park and the Macon County Conservation District invite the public to attend a presentation on Abraham Lincoln at the Decatur Public Library on Saturday, March 12 at 2 pm.
After President Lincoln’s death, many adults who knew him well were interviewed or wrote about him. Almost lost were children’s memories of meeting Lincoln, retold only as family stories or sometimes recorded by a hometown newspaper.
Guest speaker and Lincoln historian Kim Bauer has compiled these memories, often ignored by other scholars, into a presentation that shows a largely unknown side of Lincoln’s life.
This program is co-sponsored by the Friends of Lincoln Trail Homestead State Park and the Macon County Conservation District and will be held in the Madden Auditorium at the Decatur Public Library. Free. No registration required.
