Lincoln Images

The Lincoln Presidential Museum is bright, airy and beautiful, filled with interesting facts and many life size dioramas of the statesman who is often considered the best President in the history of the Republic. Images of family members, scenes from campaigns and wartime, and speculative looks at the life the famed President when he was miles away and years earlier than the fame that was to come.

Perhaps my favorite image from the entire museum is outside a cabin mockup featuring scenes from Lincoln growing up. As you see, a pensive young man, book in hand, seated on a stump. A fine image and a great experience.

Next post will visit the last home the President owned, his home before he left for the White House.
