Student History Walk set for Friday at Lincoln Heritage Museum
Fifth Graders Will Portray Historical Figures

 

[May 06, 2022] 

The annual Civil War Walk, featuring approximately 100 fifth graders from Lincoln District 27 portraying historical figures will be this Friday, May 6 at Lincoln Heritage Museum.

“This is one of our favorite events every year at the Museum. It is especially exciting this year because this is the first Civil War Walk since COVID began. The students work very hard on their presentations and I encourage the public to come out and watch,” said Olivia Partlow, Director of Lincoln Heritage Museum.

“Fifth graders study the Civil War Era and these living history presentations allow them to bring their history books to life,” Partlow added.

The fifth graders from Central, Northwest, and Washington-Monroe Elementary Schools will be in the first and second floor galleries and in the Lincoln Center Atrium.

Museum volunteers will guide visitors through the galleries. Washington-Monroe fifth-graders will perform at 9:00 a.m. followed by Northwest students at 11 a.m., and Central School students start their presentations at 1 p.m.

Admission to Lincoln Heritage Museum is complementary during the Civil War Walk, however a donation of $7 is suggested for visitors.
