Lincoln Heritage Museum Hosts Free Admission Week

[October 28, 2020]   LINCOLN - In lieu of Trick-or-Treat with Abe, Lincoln Heritage Museum will be offering free admission with the donation of a non-perishable food item, October 26-31.

Due to ongoing concerns regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, Lincoln Heritage Museum made the difficult decision to cancel the annual Trick-or-Treat with Abe event. Each year, Lincoln Heritage Museum collects donations for the Logan County Food Pantry during Trick-or-Treat with Abe, and due to this cancelation, the Logan Country Food Pantry stands to lose hundreds of donated food items.

In order to lessen the impact of canceling Trick-or-Treat with Abe on the Logan County Food Pantry, Lincoln Heritage Museum will offer free admission with the donation of a non-perishable food item during the last week of October.

“The most difficult part of canceling Trick-or-Treat with Abe was knowing the affect it would have on the Logan County Food Pantry, which has grown accustomed to a significant donation every October,” Interim Lincoln Heritage Museum Director, Olivia Partlow stated. “Because of that, I’m so pleased that the Museum was able to find a way to still make a difference despite the cancelation.”

Lincoln Heritage Museum is open Tuesday through Friday 9 am to 4 pm and Saturday 1 to 4 pm. Non-perishable food donations will be collected in lieu of Museum admission, October 26-31 only.

Visitors are also encouraged to consider donating their admission fee to help support the Museum’s mission to “Learn from Lincoln, Live like Lincoln!”
