I thoroughly enjoyed this museum, as did my 11 and 13 year old daughters. The films are informative and entertaining. The exhibits are phenomenal-especially the part that basically takes you through Lincoln's tenure in the White House. The four minute progressive map of the Civil War is powerful and humbling. The entire museum is a subtle yet effective history lesson and left us wanting to know more about this great President and the Civil War.

The free coat check is a wonderful service for visitors during the winter (or spring that feels like winter) months. Our only note of disapproval is that we found the mannequins/wax people a bit "creepy".

Wow, this museum is not to be missed! I am a Lincoln fan but I think anyone would find this museum great. I would see the Ghosts film first, then go through the old log cabin to that exhibit. Next I would watch the other movie and lastly go through the white house to the other exhibit. Of course stop at the gift shop on your way out. I was really looking forward to this stop on our trip and I was not disappointed. I would have loved to go to the library too but didn't have a chance to.

I agree with all of the other 5-star posts. This is not to be missed, even if you are not a Lincoln fanatic! It's a great museum and you walk away with a deeper understanding of this man, his accomplishments, and also his challenges and heartache.

This was the last stop on our Abecation! We thought we'd only stay an hour...mostly because we'd not read anything about it and we wanted to get on the road sooner than later. Well, 1 hour turned into almost 4 hours! It was an amazing museum! Such a great mixture of history and technology! Great layout and exhibits! Amazing!
