In lieu of the 2020 Grand Soirée, Lincoln Heritage Museum at Lincoln
College will host the Week of Celebration, a virtual fundraiser
celebrating the life and stories of Abraham Lincoln and the Lincoln
Heritage Museum September 21-25.
Due to ongoing concerns regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, Lincoln
Heritage Museum made the difficult decision to cancel the 2020 Grand
Soirée. Due to the cancelation LHM stands to lose $80,000+ in
important funding. Lincoln Heritage Museum funding supports the
acquisition or preservation of important artifacts, creation of new
exhibits, educational outreach and the development of free community
programming.
“The Week of Celebration is totally different than anything Lincoln
Heritage Museum has done before,” said Olivia Partlow, Interim
Director of Lincoln Heritage Museum. “Working with the local
community to create virtual content has been so rewarding. I’m very
excited to have the opportunity to highlight all the good that LHM
does for the Logan County community.”
Viewers can expect to see exciting content about Abraham Lincoln,
raffle drawings and prizes, and hear from community members,
students, and volunteers about Lincoln Heritage Museum’s impact on
the community during the Week of Celebration.
During the Week of Celebration, the community has the chance to
enter to win the Puzzle Piece Raffle $250 cash prize! LHM volunteers
have put together a 250 piece Abraham Lincoln puzzle. Each puzzle
piece is for sale for $10. One puzzle piece will be drawn at random
on Friday, September 25. The winner will then be notified and posted
on LHM social media.

Viewers can also participate in the Celebration Wine Pull where $20
buys a randomly selected bottle of wine. Wine ranges in value from
$5-$150 and there are several bottles valued over $50! Wine will be
available for curbside pick-up at LHM during regular business hours
September 21-October 2. Please call LHM to schedule a pick up.
