Do You Know Your Lincoln?, a new exhibit features the extensive WRHS Lincoln collection. The special show runs through early 2011 and launches a series of exhibits, events, and programs at WRHS paying tribute to Abraham Lincoln and the American Civil War. This is in honor of the Bicentennial of the birth of Lincoln in 2009 and the Sesquicentennial of the American Civil War beginning in 2011.

The entire exhibit is drawn from the WRHS unusually rich Lincoln collections and will “test” the museum visitor’s knowledge of the history of America’s 16th President. It places the election of Lincoln in the larger context of the outbreak and public perception of the Civil War, and connects the President to the City of Cleveland.

 

Choosing to Participate, an interactive exhibition that has won national praise runs through February 28, 2010, at the Western Reserve Historical Society (WRHS) in University Circle. The exhibit, presented by the educational organization Facing History and Ourselves, encourages people from across the globe to consider the effects of their everyday choices and inspires them to make a positive difference in their own communities.

Choosing to Participate is ideal for families. It will spark discussion about the power of individuals and communities to confront prejudice and intolerance in order to protect democracy and human rights.
