~Happy New Year~
From the PCA
Looking for a New Year's Resolution that could help your neighbors,
friends and hometown?
Consider making a promise that this year you'll buy local.
I know it's a concept we all say we believe in.
But this year, as a New Year's Resolution, we invite you to take the pledge.
Buying local is the best way you can show your small business owners and their hardworking employees that you really do appreciate them and want to help them stay and grow here in our community.

The next PCA meeting will be Monday, January 13 at 7pm at the Village Hall.
We will discuss Holiday Homecoming and Heritage Days.
The PCA is a great way to get involved in your community!

Lincoln's 150th Anniversary
and the Princeville Heritage Museum
|
|
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.
