Gettysburg Address Returns to Display in Springfield, Illinois

The June 26th State Journal-Register of Springfield reports that Illinois' original manuscript of this important speech will be back on display next week at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential library.

It had been removed from view last year. The Library and Museum regularly rotates its collection to help preserve the valuable items, where they are able to rest in a controlled environment.

But, you'll have to hurry if you want to see it, as it will again removed on August 20th.

An Important Piece of History. --Old B-R'er
