Abraham Lincoln Represented at the Indiana State Fair

Last Thursday, representatives from the Spencer County Visitors Bureau and the Lincoln Pioneer Village traveled to the Indiana State Fair's Heritage Day to spread the word about Abraham Lincoln's life in Indiana. The crew went on behalf of the Indiana Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Commission to provide hundreds of people with information about Abraham Lincoln and the many opportunities to learn about him in Spencer County.

"The Indiana State Fair was the perfect opportunity to put our information in the hands of people from all over. The Heritage Day brought us people interested in Lincoln's boyhood years in Indiana, as well as people who didn't even realize Lincoln lived here for 14 years," said Crystal Buehler of the Spencer County Visitors Bureau, "we were really able to reach a wide variety of people."
