This cornerstone is only one of the many reminders of President Lincoln that are preserved by the school.
There is a steel engraving of the Lincoln family when Lincoln was in office, also one of the President himself, both presented to the school by Fred Foss.
A piece of log from Lincoln ’ s cabin birth place was presented by W. L. King, a former school teacher.
An engraving of the national monument in the Soldiers ’ National Cemetery, which was dedicated by President Lincoln with his famous Gettysburg Address, is also in the collection.
