About
Brze činjenice: You’ll spot an array of letters, prints and Civil War ephemera on display, the collection totaling over 25,000 items connected to Abraham Lincoln and his era. Warm sunlight through leaded windows highlights polished wood cases, so faded ink and brittle paper look startlingly readable when you lean in.
Istaknuto: Step into a quiet alcove where a carefully lit facsimile of the Gettysburg Address hangs, the amber glow and the faint scent of aged paper creating a surprisingly intimate moment. A modest carved honor roll lists local donors by name and date, a tactile, human story spanning more than a century that often makes visitors pause and trace the handwriting with their eyes.
Insider tips
- Check opening hours before you go, the shrine sometimes has limited public hours.
- No flash photography around documents and fragile artifacts, use natural or low ISO settings.
- Park in the nearby public or campus lots and walk a short distance, the shrine sits on a quiet corner of the campus.
- Ask the staff or volunteer for the top artifacts to see first, they can point you to the highlights quickly.
