A Road Scholar Program by Brian (Fox) Ellis

Tracing his rise from Prairie State rail-splitter to America's favorite president this blend of history and humor will attempt to disentangle the man from the myth. Told from the perspective of Austin Gollaher, a childhood friend of Lincoln who once saved his life, Brian ''Fox'' Ellis steps into character to allow audiences to step back in time and meet Lincoln during many facets of life, including his childhood, his career as a lawyer, and his presidency.

This event is Free and Open to the public. For more information, please contact Nancy K. Claypool, 217.826.2535.
