April 30th- May 28th

"Abraham Lincoln: A Man of His Time, a Man for All Times," a national traveling exhibition that examines Abraham Lincoln's life, accomplishments, and legacy opens at the Heritage Village Museum this spring. Organized by the Gilder Lehrman Institute, this exhibition goes beyond the public images of Lincoln to focus on the evolution of his beliefs and his impact on the nation. The exhibition has been made possible in part by a major grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities.

The exhibit traces Lincoln's path from a self-educated, rough-hewn lawyer with virtually no administrative experience, to the president who guided a divided nation through the crises of slavery, secession and Civil War. The exhibition shows how Lincoln transcended his age and left a constitutional legacy for all Americans.

This exhibit opens April 30th and runs through May 28th.

Open Wednesdays-Saturdays from 10am-5pm

and Sunday from 1pm-5pm.

Cost is $2.00 per person. (a Village tour can be added for just $3.00 more per person). Exhibit is free to Members.

This exhibit is brought to us by the Gilder Lehrman Institute.

This exhibit was made possible due in part to a large grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities.
