The Lincoln Heritage Museum at Lincoln College received an important new document to add to its Lincoln collection. Don and Karen Springer (center, in black) presented the college with an April 17, 1865, copy of the Springfield edition of the Illinois Journal. The date was significant as it was the first opportunity for central Illinoisans to learn about the assassination of President Lincoln.
