On Friday, May 6th, fifth grade students from the District 27 elementary schools in Lincoln enjoyed an abbreviated field trip to the Lincoln Heritage Museum. But instead of seeing the many wonderful displays at the museum, each student became a part of that display, bringing live reenactments and interpretations of historic lives in the Civil War era to the visitors at the museum.

Students were situated in strategic areas throughout the museum. At their stations, they would introduce themselves as the historical figure they represented, then share stories about how or why that particular person was important in the history of the war.
 

 

  

 
 

 

 

Participating students included fifth graders from Central, Northwest and Washington Monroe Schools in Lincoln.

  

 

Museum Director Olivia Partlow is pictured with Ron Keller. Keller has been a professor at Lincoln College for the last several years, and was the driving force behind the building and design of the museum. He was the administrator at the old museum, and the administrator of the new one for a time.
