This weekend marks the anniversary of Abraham Lincoln�s birthday, so it�s only fitting that the finishing touches are being made to the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum in preparation for its opening in April. The 16th president�s life and legacy come alive at this one-of-a-kind museum in Springfield, Illinois. Employing modern technology to make history live again, the museum combines scholarship with showmanship providing visitors a breakthrough experience. Richard Norton Smith, Executive Director of the museum:
�Gone is the old emphasis on glass cases and flat images. Visitors to the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum won't just observe the past; they�ll really inhabit it. They'll get inside Lincoln�s house, they�ll get inside Lincoln�s head, as a prairie lawyer transforms himself and his country in the furnace of civil war. His story is our story. And here, visitors will experience it as it's never been told before�
The Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum opens April 19th. For more information, visit a-l-p-l-m-dot-org.
