Honoring A. Lincoln

Today is the 199th birthday of Abraham Lincoln. This is the beginning of a two year celebration of Lincoln's bicentennial birth.

We had the honor of having our session today in the Old Capitol, which was in use when Lincoln was President. It is hard to describe how neat it was to hold session where they did 150 years ago.

Lincoln Bicentennial

There are many big events coming to Kentucky over the next few years. Fall 2008 brings the Ryder Cup to Louisville, and 2010 the World Equestrian Games to Lexington. But starting February 9th, a year long celebration of President Lincoln's 200th birthday begins.
