The Lincoln Fellowship of Pennsylvania was founded in 1938: "To observe as Americans each anniversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln; to fittingly commemorate the anniversary of the dedication of the Soldier's National Cemetery and the Gettysburg Address he delivered there; to preserve and make more readily accessible the landmarks associated with his life or ancestry within Pennsylvania; and to actively encourage the youth of our Commonwealth to embrace his ideals."
