The exhibition traces Lincoln's path from a self-educated, rough-hewn lawyer with virtually no administrative experience, to the president who guided a divided nation through the crises of slavery, secession and Civil War. The exhibition shows how Lincoln transcended his age and left a constitutional legacy for all Americans.
The College is offering free programs and other events for the public in connection with the exhibition. Call 845-398-4220 for details, or visit www.stac.edu
