Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum

	Map		Reviews

The Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum is a 200,000 square foot complex situated in downtown Springfield, Illinois, and is complemented by a meticulously restored Union Station Visitors Center.

Next door, designers have created a presidential museum of unparalleled size, originality, and educational promise. The Museum contains 46,000 square feet of permanent exhibits - double the size of their counterpart at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, until now the nation's largest.

Combining impeccable scholarship with brilliant showmanship, the new museum's permanent exhibit galleries carry visitors on twin journeys from a crude, overcrowded Indiana cabin to Ford's Theater and a reproduction of the House Chamber in the Old State Capitol where Lincoln's flag-draped casket lies in state. Along the way, you will be treated to a 250 seat multi-stage and screen presentation ("Lincoln's Eyes"), a stunning holographic theater ("Ghosts of the Library") bringing Lincoln documents and artifacts, literally, to life; a Treasures Gallery housing icons like the Gettysburg Address; and a separate children's area called "Mrs. Lincoln's Attic."
