WHAT:
|
From economic crisis to protracted war, Abraham Lincoln tackled challenges that set precedents still followed by
our leaders today. On the heels of Lincoln’s 200th birthday, the Freedom Museum introduces a provocative new exhibit,
Lincoln’s Vision—Our Freedoms, that explores the many ways Lincoln fundamentally changed the role of the presidency and government as we know it. Through interactive exploration, this exhibit invites visitors to explore timeless, controversial questions and to ponder and discuss Lincoln’s relevancy to our contemporary lives.
