Lincoln impersonator to visit Mill Springs early this week

By TRICIA NEAL, CJ Staff Writer

Learn about the life of the 16th President from a unique perspective — that of Abraham Lincoln himself — next week at the Mill Springs Battlefield Visitor Center and Museum in Nancy.

Lincoln impersonator Dennis Boggs of Nashville will be speaking to local students and to the general public Monday and Tuesday at the facility.

Students from the Pulaski County School System and Hopkins Elementary School as well as local home schooled students will be visiting the center at 9 a.m., 10:30 a.m., noon, and 1:30 p.m. each day for special question-and-answer sessions with Boggs’ Lincoln.

The public is invited to a presentation at 6:30 p.m. Monday. The price of admission is $2, which also pays for the cost of a 2010 Passport, allowing the owner access to many other Mill Springs Battlefield Association events throughout the year.

Boggs has studied Abraham Lincoln’s life for more than 15 years, and can both give monologue presentations and answer questions for listeners.

For more information about the event, call Gilbert Wilson or Karyn Branham at 636-4045 or e-mail info@millsprings .net.
