I took my 2 boys 10 yrs and 14yrs (they wanted to go) to the Museum and we were just in awe of all of the history that it holds. As we walked through, it was just amazing how much the Lincoln family went through during the War and how President Lincoln was able to accomplish what he did durring a horrible time. He tr...uly was a great man. I have been reading about the Civil War for many years but this place puts it in such a perspective that I can't even put it into words. It is a must see for everyone.Read More

Andrew Werling I visited the museum in June 2008. Even though I was initially disappointed that I arrived at the museum during a time that the Gettysburg Address was in storage, I understood the reasons (document preservation) and was (and am) grateful for it. The visit itself was an experience that marked me in a very deep way, and gives me energy for my academic studies in history.

One thing I like so much about "Ghosts of the Library" is how it reiterates the theme so prevalent through the museum: History is not dead. It's all around us. What makes the ALPLM so unique is how it presents history in such exciting, engaging and hands-on ways.

Walking into the Museum I was complete overwhelmed with emotion!! It took about 15 minutes to compose myself!! Not only is Abraham Lincoln our Great...est President, but he was also a Great Man!! I don't have the words to describe how beautiful this museum has been made to Honor this Great Man & President. Thank you for this gift not only to the President, but to THE PEOPLE!
