 The magazine says “opportunities are exponential” for
meetings, receptions and other events at the ALPLM. It praised the
ALPLM’s amenities and its convenient location between Chicago and
St. Louis.
“We’re excited to get this recognition. People know the Lincoln
Presidential Library and Museum is a special place to visit, but
they may not realize it’s also a special place for a wedding
reception, awards banquet or board meeting,” said Alan Lowe, the
library and museum’s executive director.
The ALPLM was also a runner-up in the category “Best Venue for Small
Gatherings.”
Unique Venues is dedicated to highlighting event venues beyond the
usual suspects like hotels and conference centers. It features
universities, museums, historic sites, stadiums and more. Award
winners – which the magazine calls “the shining stars of our
industry” – are chosen by readers and industry professionals.
