From January 2009 – March 2009
April M. Beisaw, Ph.D. Assistant Professor of Anthropology, Heidelberg College Director of Research, Port Tobacco Archaeological Project will be working with some students at Heidelberg College to prepare a museum exhibit on Lincoln using a collection of memorabilia donated to the college in the 1970s.
The exhibit "Remembering Lincoln" will be installed in the Port Tobacco Courthouse Museum in Port Tobacco, Maryland. This corresponds with her ongoing research into the role that Port Tobacco and its residents played in the Lincoln assassination conspiracy. This research is being funded by a Preserve America grant.
The exhibit "Remembering Lincoln" will open in Maryland on Tuesday, March 10, 2009. A team of archeology students from Heidelberg College's Center for Historic and Military Archeology will be joining the Port Tobacco Archaeological Project for a week long field session at Port Tobacco.
The college students will be bringing an exhibit of Abraham Lincoln memorabilia, on loan from Heidelberg's Beeghly Library, with them to install in the Port Tobacco courthouse museum. An exhibit opening will be held on a Tuesday evening and the museum will be open for extended hours during that week.
