Exhibit 6:
Newspapers, Journals & Articles
The Worthen collection includes
approximately 200 issues of more than 56 local and regional newspapers reporting
on Lexington’s – and, in many cases, America’s – history from the late
1700s through 1975. Headlines cover the news of the day, whether
commemorating the Battles of Lexington and Concord, presenting the pros and
cons of building a new high school for Lexington, debating national banking
regulations, or announcing the deaths of Presidents Lincoln, Grant and
Kennedy.
