ABRAHAM LINCOLN WILL COME TO CASTINE ON NOVEMBER 2nd.

As the home of Noah Brooks, journalist and friend of Abraham Lincoln, Castine has been selected as one of only 40 sites nationwide and one of only 2 sites in New England to host a travelling exhibit in celebration of the Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial.

The exhibit is being brought to Castine through the efforts of a core group of organizations including Wilson Museum, Castine Historical Society, Witherle Memorial Library, Castine Arts Association, and Adams School. Castine Historical Society will be the site to display the exhibit, while they and many of the other organizations will conduct a number of varied programs with the exhibit's themes as their centerpiece. Events will include movies, talks, plays and other related programs. Follow the Lincoln portraits below for events sponsored by the Wilson Museum. The exhibit will be open daily from November 2nd - 24th from 1 to 4 p.m. or by appointment (call 326-9247).
