Our newly renovated permanent exhibit
takes you on a stroll through time. Starting with Logan's birth in
1826, you will walk through the Mexican War, Logan's early
political life, the tumultuous Civil War, Logan's creation of
Memorial Day, and his attempts to become Vice President and

the Republic members. |
