  1. You took me to a virtual tour of Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum through your words and pictures. This is an interesting place for people who are keen about history and Abraham Lincoln. A lot of information and educative post. Thanks for sharing your experience.

  2. Wow! What a great trip. I would love to visit this museum dedicated to the life story of such a great man. It would be more interesting visiting the museum with my daughter.

    1. I know, right? I always suggested this museum to people who have interests in American Presidents, especially Lincoln. It’s one of the best Presidential museums.

  3. Wow, Umiko, you really have posh friends 😉
    This museum looks great: You have fun and you learn a lot at the same time – just perfect. It’s nice that in the US museums are often so hands-on and not so ‘stiff’.

    1. One in a million. 😉 I don’t mind to go back to this museum if I’m in the area. But you’re right. A lot of museums in the US are hands-on. Best way to learn.

  4. I am a huge history buff and would love to visit the Lincoln Presidential Museum. The pictures inspire me to add this place into my list. Thanks!

  5. The Whispering Gallery sounds a really intense experience. It brought to mind immediately our visit to the Civil Rights Museum in Memphis, where the first gallery is a journey by water in a slave ship, complete with song, murmurings and a sense of menace and fear. And I am glad to see your family so fully engaged with history. I never knew Lincoln was a Mississippi ferryman.

    1. We have learned a lot about small things surrounding Lincoln in this museum. And thank you for the information about Civil Rights Museum in Memphis. Now I have reason to stop there on our next trip to the Northeast.

  6. A visit to Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum is I guess everyone’s dream, especially for those that have been reading its book. I love that you were able to elucidate a few of great things about the Museum, and your photos are amazing. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I couldn’t wait to traipse my feet here as well, hopefully soon If I get the chance.

    1. I agree, it’s a dream for everyone whose learned about Lincoln to visit here. I’m glad we made the trip here. I hope you, too, will make it here soon.

  7. This is such a good day trip! I know little about American history so would like to visit here myself. The women’s clothes were so more interesting in those times too, though probably not so comfortable! Will bookmark this.

  8. Our boys had an obsession with the presidents when they were about 3 years old- they would love this! We took them to Disney Land and the animatronic Abe Lincoln was their favorite thing in the whole park!!!

  9. The museum looks really fun and interactive. I also love history, so this is a great idea. Thanks for sharing.

  10. Wow what a educational and entertaining tour of the museum. I loved taking this virtual trip with you.

  11. How interesting! I didn’t know this place existed until reading your blog and it was nice to read. I think my partner would love it too!

  12. What an educational day out! I have never heard of this place but will have to keep it in mind if I ever find myself in Illinois 🙂

  13. The museum looks so neatly done! I am sure your son had a good history lesson just by visiting this place.

    1. One of the best presidential library. My son did have a good history lesson there. What he read were on display there.

  14. Great post – This looks like a really interesting and informative museum. Although I’m going to be honest, the mannequins frightened me a bit 😉

    1. One of the best! If you see the mannequins in person, it feels like they are welcoming you to their place. 😉

    1. I would have never known about this museum, too if I didn’t search around for things to do near a city we visited every year.

    1. I had no idea, too, if not for finding new places to see around the city we visited every year. I really like the picture of us with the Lincolns.
