Description
Lincoln Presidential Foundation and Lincoln Home National Historic Site Invite you to join us for a special ribbon cutting ceremony and open house for the Grand Opening of "Lincoln's Springfield," a new exhibit in the historic Corneau House, on Friday, February 16, 2024.
Lincoln Presidential Foundation is proud to have created this exhibit with our partners at Lincoln Home, thanks to generous support from the MG Nelson Family Foundation.
About the Exhibit: “Lincoln's Springfield” explores the stories of six members of the historic community whose diverse life experiences illustrate the promise and potential of the American experiment. Using original graphic narratives, full-color illustrations, and interactive features, this exhibit is the first at Lincoln Home NHS created to serve a youth audience (ages 10-14) while appealing to visitors of all ages. This exhibit is free and open to the public.
