Description

Enjoy 2 tickets to visit the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum plus a tour of the State Capitol in Springfield, Illinois.  This would make a great holiday gift! 


Though the Museum features many inspiring exhibits on Lincoln's life, visitors are awed by the Museum's Treasures Gallery, which features a rotating exhibit of the most precious of artifacts related to Abraham Lincoln. Many of the exhibited items are from the Taper Collection, acknowledged as the largest privately held collection of Lincolniana in the world before its purchase by the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library Foundation in 2007.


In addition to permanent exhibits, temporary exhibits make other collections related to Lincoln's life and times available to the public. The first of many one-of-a-kind exhibits opened in the Museum's Illinois Gallery in April 28, 2007. Mary Todd Lincoln: First Lady of Controversy displayed dozens of artifacts, clothing, jewelry, photos, and letters relating to Mary Lincoln's marriage, her role as First Lady of the United States, and the emotional and mental distress she experienced over her husbands assassination, the death of her son Willie, and her estrangement from her eldest son, Robert.


There is so much to see in the Museum that many visitors make return trips to experience anew some parts and acquaint themselves with areas they may have overlooked. With temporary exhibits, special programs, guest speakers, and theatrical presentations, visitors can expect something new every time they walk through the Museums doors.
