Mary
Lincoln's cake will be served, along
with coffee and punch.
Uncirculated pennies from 2009 will
be given away. In 2009, four new pennies
were minted to honor the 200th birthday
of Abraham Lincoln. The third one was
introduced at the Old State Capitol in
Springfield. The reverse of the penny
shows Abraham Lincoln standing in front
of the Old State Capitol.
A legacy of the 175th anniversary
celebration of Mount Pulaski last year
is the new Mount Pulaski Courthouse
Foundation, designed to establish a fund
to begin to work on repairs needed on
the building. The organization is also
seeking to develop a list of Friends of
the Courthouse. Brochures are available
at the historic courthouse in Mount
Pulaski and at the Abraham Lincoln
Tourism Bureau of Logan County office in
Lincoln.
