[February 15, 2024] 

The Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum will open its latest exhibit, The Questioneers: Read. Question. Think. PLAY!, with a ribbon-cutting Friday morning at 9 a.m. The event will take place in the main plaza of the museum building (212 N. Sixth Street, Springfield). Journalists are invited to attend the ribbon-cutting and then tour the exhibit.

The next day, Saturday, Feb. 17, the museum will offer a special children’s admission price of just $1, along with entertainment by the StoneLion Puppet Theatre. The $1 admission price for children will also be offered March 16, April 20 and May 4.

The Questioneers introduces visitors to Ada Twist, scientist; Rosie Revere, engineer; Iggy Peck, architect; Sofia Valdez, future prez, and Aaron Slater, illustrator.

Each character’s story highlights problem-solving, determination, risk-taking, bravery and the role of caring adults. The final day for this special exhibit will be May 5.

The exhibit is based on a best-selling series of children’s books and was developed by the DuPage Children’s Museum.
