The annual Trick Or Treat with Abe was held on Saturday October 28 at the Lincoln Heritage Museum.

The event witnessed over 150 young people and their families in an array of Halloween costuming.

Bill Donath, Curtis Fox, Cindy Keller, and Ron Keller dressed in 1800s period attire as Abraham Lincoln's friends to welcome the guests. Visitors were treated to 19th century style games including ninepins, jacks, and horseshoes, then received candy.

Marcia May and Dora Thompson assisted kids in making a "batty" Abraham Lincoln.

Mr. Lincoln (Randy Duncan) was also on hand to add enjoyment to the day and to provide photo opportunities with the costumed characters. In exchange for free admission, the museum collected non-perishable foods to be donated to the local food pantry.

The Lincoln Heritage Museum appreciates the partnership with the Looking for Lincoln Heritage Coalition in helping sponsor the event. The Museum is open from 9 AM - 4 PM Tuesday through Fridays, and 1-4 on Saturdays.
