The Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum

The Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum is a 200,000 sq. foot complex situated in downtown Springfield, Illinois, and is complemented by a meticulously restored Union Station Visitors Center (completion scheduled 2006) and an adjacent parking facility.…Next door, designers have created a presidential museum of unparalleled size, originality, and educational promise. The Museum contains 46,000 square feet of permanent exhibits - double the size of their counterpart at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, until now the nations largest. Combining impeccable scholarship with brilliant showmanship, the new museum's permanent exhibit galleries carry visitors on twin journeys from a crude, overcrowded Indiana cabin to Ford's Theater and a reproduction of the House Chamber in the Old State Capitol where Lincoln's flag-draped casket lies in state. Along the way, you will be treated to a 250 seat multi-stage and screen presentation, a stunning holographic theater bringing Lincoln documents and artifacts, literally, to life; a Treasures Gallery housing icons like the Gettysburg Address; and a separate children's area called Mrs. Lincoln's Attic.

Lincoln-Herndon Law Offices

Abraham Lincoln practiced law in these law offices above Seth Tinsley's dry goods store from 1843 until 1853. It was an ideal location for a rising young law firm - near the Capitol and Springfield's finest hotel of the day, and just above the local post office and Federal Courtroom. Stephen Logan (1843-1844) and William Herndon (1844-1865) were his partners during this time. This is the only surviving structure in which Lincoln maintained working law offices.
