By the Lincoln Historical Society
Hello Lincoln!
The Lincoln Historical Society, like everyone else, has been figuring out this new world of Covid-19. We are regrouping and seeing this as an opportunity to find new ways to reach out to you and bring you things of historical interest both from our beginnings, but also more recent developments in our town.
In order to do this, we will be making more use of web and social media platforms. That will include regular pieces in LincolnTalk, The Lincoln Squirrel, The Lincoln Chipmunk, and The Lincoln/Concord Journal.
Many pieces will concern national events and Lincoln’s role and/or response. Recent articles were published about the ratification of the 19th Amendment and Lincoln’s response to suffrage, as seen at the voting booth, and the 75th anniversary of the end of World War II.
A new regular entry is called “Did you know…” It will offer tidbits and snippets of Lincoln lore and legend… and, of course, facts. If there’s anything you have wondered about, let us know. And if you have anything to add to our “to do” list, please let us know. We look forward to hearing from you and we hope you look forward to hearing from us!
Members of the Lincoln Historical Society are Gus Brown, Jim Cunningham, Craig Donaldson, Palmer Faran, Andrew Glass, Don Hafner, Sara Mattes (chair), Harold McAleer, BJ Scheff, Chris Taylor, and Rick Wiggin.
”My Turn” is a forum for Lincoln residents to offer their views on any subject of interest to other Lincolnites. Submissions must be signed with the writer’s name and street address and sent via email to lincolnsquirrelnews@gmail.com. Items will be edited for punctuation, spelling, style, etc., and will be published at the discretion of the editor. Submissions containing personal attacks, errors of fact, or other inappropriate material will not be published.
