American Flag The American Flag was the one carried across the Continient and in many ways the reason for the trip. It flew on the Sprit of the Lincoln Way, was used at the Henry B Joy Monument Site, carried to Ensign Peak, lay on the tracks at The Golden Spike and reclaimed Lincoln Park as the end of the Lincoln Highway. As a historic flag...it ranks with the flags at Iwo Jima and Ground Zero. |

Presidential Seal The Presidential Seal came from the Nixon Presidential Library and was widely used at the Museum. In addition, it was used on the "Spirit of the Lincoln Way" for all special occasions including the Inaugural Parade. |

Lincoln Pennys While worth only $100.00 in face value, this loss is the most devistating and cannot be replaced. The container was the original ice cream freezer and contained all the actual pennies donated and represent over 4000 people putting in their two cents over a 3 year period. |
