KHS HistoryMobile to Visit Trigg County Civil War Days

FRANKFORT, Ky. (March 11, 2011)— The Kentucky Historical Society (KHS) HistoryMobile will visit Trigg County Civil War Days at West Cadiz Park, Cadiz, Ky., on Friday, March 18 and Saturday, March 19.

The KHS HistoryMobile is a mobile museum featuring exhibits on Kentucky history. Housed in a 45-foot tractor-trailer, the 300-square-foot exhibit explores Lincoln's frontier childhood, his career from log house to the White House and his struggles to end slavery and lead the nation through the Civil War. The HistoryMobile is visiting communities throughout Kentucky during 2011.

The KHS HistoryMobile program is made possible by the generosity of the Honorable Order of Kentucky Colonels, the Pilot Corporation and the Kentucky Historical Society Foundation.

Since 1973, this program has presented a wide variety of exhibits on Kentucky history to at least one million Kentuckians, half of which have been students.

For more information on the KHS HistoryMobile or to schedule the HistoryMobile for your community, contact Warren Greer, HistoryMobile program coordinator, at 502-564-1792.
