June 3, 2006 was
a tremendous first step in letting America
know that Washington County and Kentucky
intend to reclaim the Lincoln heritage.
The Wedding
Celebration highlighted a point in history
that forever changed our nation.
The twenty-eight
historical interpreters provided an
educational opportunity for old and young
alike. Guests left Lincoln Park on June 3,
2006 with a true feel for American and
Kentucky life in the early days of this
great state and nation.
Plan to join us
on June 14, 2008 for this Wedding
Celebration!
