Lincoln's 150th Anniversary 
and the Princeville Heritage Museum

"Lincoln's address at the dedication of the Gettysburg National Cemetery, November 19, 1863," Library of Congress. http://www.loc.gov/rr/program/bib/ourdocs/Images/gettysburg.jpg 



On November 19, 1863, Lincoln delivered one of his most famous speeches in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.  He had been invited to give a "few appropriate remarks" during the dedication ceremony for a cemetery for Union soldiers killed at the Battle of Gettysburg.  Despite the brevity of the speech and the fact that it earned little attention at the time, the Gettysburg Address has become one of the most celebrated speeches in U.S. history.

As we observe the 150th anniversary of Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, the Lillie M. Evans Library and the Princeville Heritage Museum would like to publicize the upcoming exhibit, Lincoln: The Constitution and the Civil War which will be on display at the Museum from April 7, 2014 through May 9, 2014.  Organized thematically, the exhibition explores how Lincoln used the Constitution to confront three intertwined crises of the war-the secession of Southern states, slavery, and wartime civil liberties. Visitors will leave the exhibition with a more complete understanding of Abraham Lincoln as president and the Civil War as the nation's gravest constitutional crisis.

A short video walkthrough (10:25 min.) with Dr. Steve Frank, Chief Interpretive Officer at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, is available online at
Lincoln: the Constitution and the Civil War, a traveling exhibition for libraries, was organized by the National Constitution Center and the American Library Association Public Programs Office. The traveling exhibition has been made possible by a major grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities.  Lincoln: the Constitution and the Civil War is based on an exhibition of the same name developed by the National Constitution Center.

There will be several programs offered during the exhibit including a tea with Mrs. Lincoln, Illinois in the Civil War with Tom Emery, and a discussion of the anti-slavery movement in the mid-19th century.  If you would like to ensure you are on our mailing list, please email phmdirector@frontier.com  with your contact information and we'll keep you informed about the events.  In addition, watch our websites, http://lmelibrary.org and http://www.princevilleheritagemuseum.com for additional information on this exhibit and the upcoming programs.

Princeville Garden Club 
HERE'S THE DIRT       By Heather Maguire

November 7, 2013
The November meeting of the Princeville Garden Club was held at Lillie M. Evans Library. The guest speaker was supposed to be Timie Sue Rasmussen but she had family matters to attend to, so Janet Rasmussen was the guest speaker. She showed us some ribbon wreaths that Timie Sue made.

Janet had the tips for the month: Take a medicine bottle wrap a piece of newspaper around it fold the bottom over and slide the paper off and you have a little planter to transplant your seedlings in.

Our hostesses for the evening were Janet Rasmussen and Kenny Hohenbery.  We had pumpkin cookies and pumpkin cupcakes.

DOOR PRIZE - Our door prize winner was Anne Abbey. Anne won a Turkey Statue.  Congratulations Anne.


DECEMBER MEETING - The December meeting of the Garden Club will be Lillie M Evans Library on December 5th at 6:30 p.m.  We will be having a potluck. So bring a dish to pass. Jim Kuntz will be singing for us. See you there.

DECEMBER HOSTESSES - Hostesses for December will be the Officers.
Guests are always welcome.
