| Vote for Me: The Quest for the White House, 1788-2008 March 29, 2008 — November 18, 2008 In 2008, a presidential election year, the Friends of The Lincoln Museum will mount an interactive temporary exhibit based upon the history of Presidential elections. The exhibit will examine the electoral process as it has evolved over 220 years. It will explore: the nominating process; campaigns which focused on one or two major issues, as opposed to campaigns which were strictly driven by personality; and elections which took place during war. The birth (Democrats and Republicans) and death (Mugwumps, Know Nothings, and Loco Focos) of specific political parties will be portrayed; and we will present a section devoted to the backgrounds of the men who eventually triumphed. We will also focus on several elections which changed the course of the nation. Sponsored by: Leland and LaRita Boren, Crowe Chizek and Company, Depuy Orthopaedics, Dunsire Family Foundation, English Bonter Mitchell Foundation, John S. & James L. Knight Foundation, The History Center, Indiana’s News Center,Vann Family Foundation, and The Lincoln Museum. | |
