Join us for festive array of family art and performance activities celebrating Ed Hamilton’s Lincoln and Beyond the Log Cabin: Kentucky’s Abraham Lincoln on Sunday, June 28. Activities include creating Lincoln stove pipe hats, family sculpture projects, Contra Dancing and 19th century fiddling in the exhibition. In addition, Ed Hamilton will be here at 1:00 p.m. to give a free talk about his journey to create the Lincoln Waterfront Memorial and then will later have a book signing.
