A group of students has put together an exhibit for a glimpse of history at Lincoln Log Cabin that will be on display beginning Sunday.

There is an open house for the free exhibit, titled “A Time for Every Season: Spring on the Prairie,” from 1 to 4 p.m. Sunday to showcase the arrival of the exhibit, said Vicki Woodard, director of media relations.

The students constructed the project as a part of the Historical Administration Program for a class on exhibit design, a press release stated. The students worked on the project throughout the fall semester, researching and designing the exhibit.

The exhibit is an indoor display that explains the spring activities that people would do during Abraham Lincoln’s time period, Woodard said. The display will be of field and spring planting as well as activities and in the barnyard and farm house.

The historical administration students will be in attendance to answer any questions about the exhibit and speak with visitors.

This exhibit will run through June and was funded by a grant from the Illinois Humanities Council.

Also on exhibit, a 14-minute film in the auditorium of the visitor center. The film gives information on the background of the Thomas Lincoln and Stephen Sargent families as well as life during the 1840s.

Refreshments will be served in the visitor center, and guests also can walk around the site and meet people portraying members of the Lincoln and Sargent families.

Lincoln Log Cabin is the 1840s home of Abraham Lincoln’s parents and is located eight miles south of Charleston on Lincoln Highway Road.
