BORM honored for Lincoln Funeral Train program

The Ohio Local History Alliance honored the Bradford Ohio Railroad Museum for the Abraham Lincoln Funeral Train 150th Anniversary Program.

The museum was chosen to receive this award for its community outreach during the April 25, 2015 program at the museum.

The museum brought together Bradford Exempted Village High School students, a Mr. Lincoln impersonator and Civil War re-enactors to present the history of the 1865 Funeral Train of the slain President.

 Ameri-corp volunteer Tim Miller coordinated the program with the museum.  He worked with Bradford High School history teacher Robert Daugherty to coordinate the student's presentations. He invited Stan Wernz a well known Abraham Lincoln presenter and Douglas Slagel of the Stillwater Roundtable Civil War re-enactors to complete the program.

The museum's 2015 exhibits were devoted to the Funeral Train's historic ride from Washington DC to Springfield, Illinois. The exhibits are on view through October 31, 2015 when the museum closes for the 2015 season.

Marilyn Kosier, M.D., president of the museum accepted the award at the October 3, 2015 Annual Meeting of the Ohio History Connection in Worthington, Ohio.

The museum wishes to thank all those who attended and participated in this community outreach program.
