Abraham Lincoln - Young Abe

In Person and Virtual Programs

Abraham Lincoln - Now he belongs to all the ages! Young Abe “comes back” at the age of 19 and shares his story of overcoming challenges in his life from childhood through his Presidency. This journey through time teaches students about honesty, taking responsibility and showing that one person, no matter what his/her background, can make a positive difference in the world and their community. 


".....that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth." - Abraham Lincoln, Gettysburg Address 1863


Young Abe can be performed in person or virtually!

Abraham Lincoln - Words of Wisdom and Reflection

“Folks are usually about as happy as they make their minds up to be.”

“I am a slow walker, but I never walk back.”

“I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live up to what light I have.”

“Character is like a tree and reputation its shadow. The shadow is what we think it is and the tree is the real thing.”

“The best way to predict your future is to create it.”
