February will officially mark the end of Lincoln’s bicentennial celebration. But even though “Honest Abe” turns 201, the Chicago History Museum will still be hosting several exciting events in February. On President’s Day, celebrate the legacy of the nation’s presidents with the entire family through storytelling, dramatic performances, craft activities, and music by the Michael Teolis Singers. Several events revolving around candy including A Sweet Kinda Town and Classic Candy comes to CHM, as well as panel discussions about online dating and the mortgage crisis.

CHM has tasked us with manufacturing and distributing handbills which advertise the above mentioned events. We’ll be out and about in various neighborhoods and locations in Chicago. Be sure to pick one up, and find out more about what’s happening next month at the Chicago History Museum.

The virtual simulation tour of the 1893 World’s Fair is back by popular demand! Visitors will be able to “walk” through the virtual White City to see what it looked like over 100 years ago. Since this exciting two day event is this weekend, we printed posters and distributed them throughout the city to help remind everyone that the popular exhibit is returning. Dr. Lisa Snyder, associate director of outreach and operations for UCLA’s Experimental Technologies Center and the UCLA Urban Simulation team, will be presenting the recreation of the White City using real-time video simulation technology while Tim Samuelson, cultural historian for the City of Chicago, provides commentary.

Explore the White City: World’s Fair Simulator is at the Museum of Science and Industry December 5th & 6th. Visit www.msichicago.org for more information

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.
