The 200th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's birth is celebrated in this display of objects associated with our 16th president's life and times. Lincoln visited Kansas in 1859 to make political contacts. These contacts paid off the following year at the Republican Party's convention, where he was chosen as its presidential candidate.

"If I went West, I think I would go to Kansas." --Abraham Lincoln, March 17, 1860
