As the year comes to a close, so does the celebration of Lincoln’s Bicentennial.  This past year we have been working closely with The Newberry Library to promote their Lincoln exhibitions, and currently, we are gearing up for another round of brochure distributions.  Last time around, we blanketed the city with Lincoln brochures detailing all of the upcoming events, and we will be repeating this process one more time.

In honor of one our nation’s greatest presidents, The Newberry Library is offering several informative events and exhibits including Abraham Lincoln and the Visual Arts, Honest Abe of the West, and With Malice Towards None.  Be sure to check out Newberry Library’s website for more information, and podcasts as well.

Lincoln Bicenntennial events are taking place at The Newberry Library through February 2010.  Please visit www.newberry.org for more information.

In honor of the two hundredth anniversary of Lincoln’s birth, Newberry Library offers a brand new and exiting exhibit to Chicago. With Malice Toward None: The Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Exhibition, offers a glimpse of who our nation’s greatest president was through different artifacts including pictures, books, and letters.  We jumped at the chance to work on this project with the Newberry, and have been distributing brochures for the exhibition to libraries in the city and northshore suburbs.  Be sure to take advantage and check it out while it’s here.

With Malice Toward None: The Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Exhibition is at the Newberry Library through December 19th.

Honest Abe; 200 years later he is still considered one of the county’s greatest presidents.  In contrast to our last elected “leader”, Lincoln was what we would call a history buff, believing those who don’t know it are doomed to repeat it.  As part of the Chicago Historty Museum’s Lincoln Bicentennial, CHM presents the Everybody’s Lincoln Web Project.  Upload pictories of yourself, friends, and family, to see how they’d look wearing Lincoln’s signature beard and top hat.

Everybody’s Lincoln begins February 12th along with other events and exhibitions.
