The museum is very well done and easily kept the attention of our 45 high school students. The process to enter with a large group is a bit clunky, so expect to wait on the bus for a bit before you're let in. Once inside, the exhibits and theaters do a great job of teaching even reluctant teens about Lincoln.

Greatly surpassed my expectations. Highly recommended!! Be sure to visit the tomb and take a tour of the home as well. Everything is within just a few miles of each other. Great day for a history lover.

My Tractorman and I really enjoyed it very much. The two theatre performances were exceptional. Learned some things I did not and found that it was not overwhelming like some museums. Hope to come back in the area to hit some of the other sites. Parking on the streets with meters.
