On Saturday, October 4th, 2025, during the Knox County Scenic Drive former president, Abraham Lincoln will be paying a visit to Maquon. Fritz Klein as Mr. Lincoln will give three presentations, one at noon, 1:00 PM, and 2:00 PM at Fruit Hill School. It has been said that "Klein's portrayal of Lincoln brings this American icon to life. He bears a striking resemblance to Lincoln. his programs are thoroughly researched, historically accurate and blends Lincoln's humor with his great humanity." If you ever had a question you wanted to ask President Lincoln, there will be a question-and-answer period after each performance. This special event is made possible by a hometown benefactor.
