Visiting the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum

While many states understandably claim Abraham Lincoln, Illinois is the Land of Lincoln and Springfield is home to his presidential library and museum. I visited the museum a couple of years ago and wanted Linda to have that experience as well.

I think that Linda would agree that it's not like many museums. Yes, there are a number of exhibits of collections of items like dresses from the time. On the other end of the display continuum is a theatre with state of the arts special effects. Throughout, the stories of Lincoln's life and presidency are told, often with complimentary visual and audio effects that immersed us in the story at hand. It really is an impressive tribute.
