Student Play inside Logan County Courthouse, Greenfield Village, February 1938
01
Artifact Overview
Henry Ford admired President Lincoln's character and collected many Lincoln-related artifacts, including the Logan County, Illinois, courthouse in which Lincoln had practiced law in the 1840s. Ford wanted to have the courthouse serve as a teaching tool about the "principles of justice and common sense as exemplified by Abraham Lincoln." Here, students from Ford's Edison Institute Schools test out these principles.
