Middletown Thrall Library will host a traveling panel exhibit entitled
Forever Free:
Abraham Lincoln's Journey to Emancipation. In panel reproductions of rare historical
documents, period photographs, cartoons, and memorabilia, this exhibit re-examines
President Lincoln's views on slavery and his evolving approach to emancipation
during the Civil War. Middletown Thrall Library was honored to be selected as one
of only 40 libraries nationwide to participate in the tour and will host this
exhibit from June 22nd to August 5th, 2005.
