Annual Lincoln Reenactment
- "After 30 years of Incredible Reenactments and every aspect of Abraham Lincoln's life had been presented on our list of lofty goals, the committee and reenactors felt the appropriate time had come to retire the event.Time has also taken a toll on our aged people involved. With deeply felt love for the relationships built through the years with our dedicated Lincolns, Historians, and audience, a sadness lingers but also an amazement of all that the Reenactment became; by examining history we grew personally and through public outreach perhaps we stepped closer to making liberty real for ALL peoples, and a UNITED country that is Abraham Lincoln's legacy. Not to forget our town and county namesake and his legacy, we plan to annually reach out to our community and beyond with educational films to be screened at the Finch Theater, in Lincoln, KS, during the week of Lincoln's birthday, February 12." Sponsored by Lincoln Co. Historic Society Reenactment Committee; funded in part by Lincoln County businesses, organizations and persons who love history.
