Pilgrims and Pioneers: Abe Lincoln

Welcome To Pilgrims and Pioneers!

After many years of researching my family geneaology I have been lucky enough to discover actual information about my relatives that lived in the Pilgrim Era and the Pioneer Era- while many people also have realtives from those eras- many do not know their names or where they lived- actually seeing the proof in print makes you much more aware of who they really were.
After discovering these relatives it of course made me curious to learn more about the eras that they lived in and what their lives were like as, the history I learned in grade school had long since been forgotten.
I decided to start this blog for others who are also interested in these eras.
Some of the information here will be actual facts about my realtives and some will be information about the eras in general that I have found on the web.
I hope you will enjoy traveling back in time with me!

Lincoln Days at Propheter Park

This Saturday- July 18th- there is going to be a celebration for Abe Lincoln's 200 year birthday. It is put on by the local Historical Society. It will be held at Propheter Park in Sterling as this is where a statue of Abe Lincoln is. It will run from 1-5 pm.

This is the first time for it so I do not know how big it will be but I know there are Lincoln & Mart Todd impersonaters giving presentations and some vendors- I will be vending my wares that afternoon. If you are in the area stop on by and chat!
