We hope the Grinch will not keep you away as we hear he may make
an appearance!

The ALPLM will also be collecting for the Salvation Army. Visitors can stop by
the museum’s “angel tree” through Dec. 11 and pick decorations listing needed
items. Then they buy the items (or make a monetary donation) and return them
later.
The presidential library and museum uses a combination of rigorous scholarship
and high-tech showmanship to immerse visitors in the life and times of Abraham
Lincoln. The library holds an unparalleled collection of Lincoln books,
documents, photographs, artifacts and art, as well as some 12 million items
pertaining to all aspects of Illinois history.
