Do You Know Your Lincoln?, a new exhibit features the extensive WRHS Lincoln collection. The special show runs through early 2011 and launches a series of exhibits, events, and programs at WRHS paying tribute to Abraham Lincoln and the American Civil War. This is in honor of the Bicentennial of the birth of Lincoln in 2009 and the Sesquicentennial of the American Civil War beginning in 2011.

The entire exhibit is drawn from the WRHS unusually rich Lincoln collections and will “test” the museum visitor’s knowledge of the history of America’s 16th President. It places the election of Lincoln in the larger context of the outbreak and public perception of the Civil War, and connects the President to the City of Cleveland.
