“Reflections on ‘Abraham Lincoln's Journey Home’” 

From April 18 through May 3, 2015, the National Park Service commemorated the 150 anniversary of the funeral of Abraham Lincoln with a program called “Abraham Lincoln’s Journey Home.” This series of presentations honored his legacy in each of the major cities that held a funeral for Lincoln in 1865, from Washington, DC to Springfield, Illinois.
The programs focused on Lincoln's vision for America as he expressed it during his life, a vision that moved the nation from Civil War toward Civil Rights. Each program began with a National Park Service Park Ranger who will not only served to open the program, but whose own story stands as an example of Lincoln's vision for America.
