On February 10, 2023, the Lincoln Fellowship celebrated President Lincoln’s birthday (yes, early) with young Gettysburg learners at the “Return Visit” Statue. The learners then went on their own special tour of the David Wills House.

The Fellowship is so thankful to Ranger Christopher Gwinn, Chief of Interpretation and Education, Gettysburg National Military Park and Ranger Barb Sanders, Education Specialist, Gettysburg National Military Park for giving the tour.

We were also greatly honored to have the Mayor of Gettysburg, Rita Frealing and Gettysburg’s Police Chief Robert W. Glenny join us on the square.

The fun continued with a school visit! Dr. Ashley Luskey read a story about Abraham Lincoln to the students and we colored in Lincoln's beard for an activity. What a great day!

Thank you Dr. Ashley Luskey, Lincoln Fellowship board member and Assistant Director of the Civil War Institute for arranging this wonderful morning.
