LINCOLN
- The Lincoln Heritage Museum will open its doors
free of charge to all Museum Day ticket holders on Saturday
September 21, 2019 as part of Smithsonian magazine’s 15th annual
Museum Day, a national celebration of boundless curiosity in which
participating museums emulate the free admission policy at the
Smithsonian Institution’s Washington D.C.-based museums.

Museum Day represents a nationwide
commitment to access, equity and inclusion. Over 450,000 tickets
were downloaded for last year’s event, and Museum Day 2019 is
expected to attract more museumgoers than ever before.
The LHM’s current special exhibit, Young America, features Lincoln’s
Intellect and the Young America Movement that occurred within the
American youth during the 1830s through 1850s.
See pieces of local history, like the original town plat of
Lincoln, IL, as well as pieces of Abraham Lincoln history, such as a chair from
his law office and the back of one of the couches he sat on while courting Mary
Todd. The LHM is open from 1-4 PM on Saturday, September 21.
Museum Day tickets will be available for download at
Smithsonian.com/ museumday.
