Lincoln Day Celebration at the Forbes House Museum

Start: Saturday, May 31, 2025 2:00PM
End: Saturday, May 31, 2025 4:00PM

Abraham Lincoln changed the course of this country. He served our country in its highest capacity. Abraham Lincoln should be celebrated each and every year! Our annual Lincoln Day Celebration will once again feature fun activities for the whole family, as well as feature an opportunity for children to become change makers: In honor of “making change”, we are partnering with the New England-based nonprofit, WORLD OF CHANGE, to provide a chance for children to direct philanthropic change. By collecting and donating coins into the World of Change truck, children can choose which area of need to support, and all funds donated will be given directly to a local Milton charity that addresses that need. So collect all your change, including your Lincoln pennies, and bring it to Lincoln Day! Local Boy Scout Troop 5 Milton will be on hand to give flag folding and knot tying demonstrations. Come try them out yourself! We'll also have some fun crafts to do, and story walks on the grounds. And there will be a special exhibit on display - for the first time, visitors to the museum can see the actual Civil War Union army uniform of William Hathaway Forbes! Our replica Lincoln cabin will have its seasonal opening during the event, too.
