The “United States” was the railroad equivalent of Air Force One. Lincoln never rode in it alive. It was converted to a funeral car after his death. |
It’s a fascinating piece of American History that took place in our backyard and Darke County Park District is celebrating with a weekend event. Saturday, April 18 from 10a-4p and Sunday, April 19, 9am-3pm, the Bridge Street trail hub in Gettysburg will be a flurry of activity including the 35th Light Infantry Civil War Re-enactors, a craft for children, Lincoln look-a-like contest and historic interpreters (on Sunday only) and much more.
For more information, please contact the Nature Center at 937-548-0165 or info@darkecountyparks.org.
