“The Ada County Historic Preservation Council presented attorney David H. Leroy with the Making History Award for his efforts to promote and educate future generations on the legacy of President Abraham Lincoln. Leroy led the creation of the Lincoln Legacy Collection and Exhibition at the Idaho Historical Museum. The cornerstone of this exhibit is the original documents, photos, portraits, sculptures, campaign poster and more than 1,000 books collected by Leroy and his wife, Nancy, which chronicle the life of the 16th president and was donated to the state of Idaho research library in 2013.”
