Award-winning folksinger Chris Vallillo uses historic narratives, contemporary folk music, and period folk songs to showcase Abraham Lincoln's life spanning the period of great change and growth in Illinois. This program is made possible in part by an award from the Illinois Humanities Council, the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Illinois General Assembly.
