For the second day in a row now there has been an exciting headline related to Abraham Lincoln. Yesterday (Tues 3/10) a story broke that perhaps a new photo that pictures Abraham Lincoln has surfaced. We have so few photos of him that a ‘new’ one discovered about 150 years later is very exciting. Read about the story here.

Today a story broke about a ’secret message’ that was believed to have been placed inside the pocket watch Abraham Lincoln carried. There was a ’secret message’ after all. Read about the story here.

The Smithsonian is currently hosting an exhibit on Lincoln worth checking out.
