Lincoln: The Constitution and the Civil War
National Lincoln Exhibit Comes to Princeville in April 2014


The Princeville Heritage Museum in conjunction with the Lillie M Evans Library are eagerly preparing for the traveling exhibit "Lincoln: The Constitution and the Civil War".  The exhibit will also give the museum the opportunity to share with visitors some of the local history of Princeville during the Civil War era.   

Have you ever heard of the Lucky Thirteen from Princeville?  The Lucky Thirteen were a group of Princeville men who planned to enlist together to fight in the Civil War.  Before they left for Peoria, the Rev. Ahab Keller of the Princeville Methodist Church said a prayer asking for all thirteen men to be spared and to be safely returned home.  They were considered lucky because all thirteen returned home after three to four years in service.  The story of the Lucky Thirteen along with other local civil war history will be on exhibit.  Artifacts will also be on display from both the museums own archives and from collectors and community members. 

Regular hours at the Princeville Heritage Museum during this exhibit will be Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays & Saturdays 10am-2pm; Tuesdays from 2pm-8pm; and Thursdays from 2pm-6pm.  The exhibit is closed on Sundays.  The Museum is located 325 N Ostrom Avenue in Princeville, IL-15 minutes north of Peoria.  The 30,000 sq ft handicap-accessible facility features agriculture antiques, area artifacts, genealogy research, and more. The Akron Townhouse School, a one-room school, is located on the Museum grounds.  For more information and for booking class visits, please call the Museum (309) 385-1916.  The opening reception for the Lincoln: the Constitution and the Civil War will be Saturday, April 5th from 2-4pm at the Museum.  This is the first opportunity to preview this national traveling exhibit, and the public is invited to attend this free event.  Refreshments will be served. 

In addition to the regular exhibit hours and the opening reception, there will be programs at the Museum on Tuesdays starting April 8th and continuing through April 29th.  The first in this series is Illinois in the Civil War and it will be presented by Tom Emery on April 8th 6:30pm. On April 15th 6:30pm Brian Fox Ellis will present Black Jack Logan: Civil War General, Senator, King-Maker. On April 22nd 1pm, historical impersonator, Debra Ann Miller, takes us back to Mrs. Lincoln's "blue room salon" in April 1865.  A special tea with Mrs. Lincoln is included-please call the Museum @ 385-1916 for reservations! The last program will be on April 29th 6:30pm.  Jeanne Schultz Angel will present the Anti-Slavery Movement in Black & White and explore the history behind the anti-slavery movement in Northern Illinois. Two of the programs, Black Jack Logan and the Anti-Slavery Movement in Black & White were provided through a grant from the IHC Road Scholars Speakers Bureau.  Visit the LME Library website at lmelibrary.org for more information on these programs.
