#9 Abraham Lincoln Presidental Library and Musem

Located at 212 N. Sixth Street

This place is fairly new to Springfield and still pulls in a lot of people.

Tour the museum and view exhibits of Lincoln's humble beginnings, the political machine, the gossip about him and more. One of my favorite exhibits is something I like to call the "Hall of Haters". It features some of the many slanderous things that were said to and about Lincoln.

As for the Library, what do you want to know about Illinois? Well, its more than likely there. But these research materials are pretty valuable so, there are lots of rules and regulations to abide by.

TASK: Visit the Ghosts of the Library show at the museum .
