Abraham Lincoln: Self-Made in America comes to PeninsulaThe Peninsula Valley Historic and Education Foundation’s mission is:

“To preserve the heritage, maintain the character and promote the vitality of Peninsula, Ohio and the Cuyahoga Valley by engaging the community through educational programs, historic preservation and volunteerism.”

The Foundation preserves historic buildings in the Village of Peninsula, and operates historic sites, including the Bronson Church and the GAR Hall. Peninsula is privileged to be one of the locations for the traveling exhibit Abraham Lincoln: Self-Made in America. The exhibit, which is free to the public, will be held at the Foundation’s GAR Hall and Museum, from July 3-28, 2010. If you have the opportunity, come to my Valley and see the exhibit, the Village and the beautiful Cuyahoga Valley.   Stop in our Gallery and say hello. We’ll be glad to see you.

Wander on over to My Town Monday and see what my fellow MTM Marauders have to say.  As always, please feel free to leave me a comment, or a stone (o), to let me know you’ve stopped by.

    I wish I could come to your town…..It sounds quite wonderful and the location sounds very beautiful and looks beautiful too, goinf by all the pictures you have shown and the occassional videos, too….But Alas, I am unable to come there, my dear….I can no longer travel, etc. So the spirit and heart are willing but The body and Health Issues keep me at home.

    If I am ever in your neck of the woods, the first place I stop will be your Gallery! BTW, I linked to this post from the MTM blog and from my own as well. :)

    Hi Debra,

    Will you be around on June 30th or July 1st? I haven’t decided which day I’m leaving for Virginia yet, but a stop in your town and an opportunity to meet in person is on my agenda. Your My Town Monday posts have finally lured me in…

    Good to see you again, Patti. I haven’t been over to your place for a while, either.

    Clare–you will be the Main Marauder next week :-)

    Ironically, one of my blog friends (Abe Lincoln,) is a descendant of the original. Really nice guy. You can see his blog here; http://mybirdsblog.blogspot.com

    My husband and I drove by your place today but it looked closed. When can we see the Abe Lincoln thing…hours days?
