Mission Statement

The Lincoln Society of Virginia promotes research and provides information and educational programs about President Abraham Lincoln. Its focus is on Lincoln's life and work, his significance in American history, and on the lessons to be learned from his life. Special focus is on Lincoln's connections with Rockingham County, Virginia and on providing an accurate and mature interpretation of him from the point of view of Virginians and other Southerners. The Lincoln Society of Virginia also desires to acquire and preserve local Lincoln family landmarks including the Lincoln Cemetery and the Lincoln Homestead residence near the Cemetery, both of which are in Rockingham County of Virginia.
