A statement from the Atlanta Public Museum on receiving a Looking for Lincoln Heritage Grant

 

[February 14, 2025]  We are very honored and pleased to have received the Looking for Lincoln Heritage Grant. Not only will it allow us to expand our town's local connection to Abraham Lincoln, but it will help to preserve the history of the personal connection as well.

The Atlanta Public Museum, located at 114 SW Arch Street, Atlanta, reopens for visitors on April 2, 2025. Monday - Saturdays, 10 AM - 4 PM, Sundays, 1 PM - 4 PM.

The Museum is housed in three buildings, on two floors. Unlike most small-town museums, we have added interactive aspects such as Hidden Lincolns, Flat Lincoln, Bank Vault Challenges, and a Memorial Hall dedicated to our Military Hometown Heroes who have served from Atlanta since the Civil War.

And in 2025 we have several 'contests' associated with our Special Event Exhibits - a Quilt Show & Contest, a Christmas in July Route 66 Gingerbread Competition, Artist Show, an 'Antiques Roadshow' and Cemetery Walk. Information can be found on our webpage at atlantamuseum.org.

We hope everyone will stop in and see what the Atlanta Public Museum has to offer.
