[Ron Keller, Lincoln
College Museum curator, brings history to life for fourth grade
students from Northwest School.]
Ron
Keller, current Lincoln College Museum curator, encouraged the kids
to travel back in time as he welcomed them. Dressed in typical 1800s
attire, he introduced himself to the group as John S. Stephens, the
small boy who witnessed Abraham Lincoln’s watermelon christening
of the town of Lincoln. The children, who are students in Mrs.
Splain’s, Miss Barcalow’s and Mrs. Bachman’s classes at
Northwest School, listened to history being retold from the
perspective of a person who was around during Lincoln’s era.
As
Keller gave kids a hands-on approach to learning about the past,
Mrs. Splain was happy to see such a response from her students.
"This is great for the kids to come here and experience the
Lincoln artifacts. It lets the kids expand on the history we’ve
talked about in class."

Keller
agrees and says his goals are to increase the awareness of the rich
history on display in our small-town museum. "I want to
continue to present our history in an interactive manner," he
said. "The fourth grade group from Northwest was a terrific
group, and I look forward to many more school groups."
