In honor of downtown Troy's bi-annual public art exhibit, Sculptures On The Square, featuring J. Seward Johnson's 30 foot sculpture of Abraham Lincoln and a modern-day man, The Mayflower Arts Center has partnered with Miami County Visitors & Conventions Bureau, Troy Community Radio, and Troy Main Street to bring you a summer-long series of movies called the Lincoln Film Festival. We hope you enjoy these films, presented in order of history (and including one for a little fun).
