Temporary Change in Operations for Asbestos Removal

Date: February 13, 2018

Parts of the Memorial Visitor Center at Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial will be closed from February through mid-March 2018 to allow for the removal of asbestos in the ceiling in preparation for a future installation of a fire suppression system. All of the building between the two memorial halls including the museum, auditorium, bookstore and visitor center, will be closed during the project to ensure visitor and staff safety. The two memorial halls will be open to the public 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM CST. During this project visitors will still be able to view the orientation video, temporary displays, and stamp their park passports in the memorial halls and hike the trails in the park.

The Memorial Visitor Center, completed in 1943, was designed with two memorial halls and a connecting cloister. Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial is located off of Indiana Highway 162 in Lincoln City, Indiana.
