For the Independence Visitor’s Center Night Kitchen has recently begun a website commemorating the sixteenth president’s final visit to Pennsylvania, at the Great Central Fair in 1864 in Philadelphia. The site will tell the story of the historical fair, while also promoting visitation to the 2009 Lincoln’s Great Fair, to be held in Independence National Park. An events calendar, links to partner organizations, area maps and more will help both tourists and locals plan their visit to this three-day festival.
