Frank and Virginia Williams of Rhode Island is giving their entire collection of Lincoln related artifacts to Mississippi State University. It is the largest privately owned Lincoln collection in the country. It will be housed along side the Ulysses S. Grant Presidential Library, making it one of the largest centers for Civil War and Reconstruction scholarship in the world.
I think it is safe to say that this is a great for every person interested in the Civil War.
Here is the press release on the story:
