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.
