While I am not a "Lincoln Lover", per se, I must admit that I was humbled and awed at everything I saw. It is virtually indescribable, because of the feelings it conjurs up in one's heart to see Abe visiting his sick son, while Mrs. Lincoln carries on with a party.....we know the boy will die, we are omniscient; whereas the caring father, staring at his son by candlelight, can only mutter a prayer of hope and feel a lump in his throat while the boy lay ill......
This mueseum is not an average muesuem. "If you've seen one, you've seen'em all" does not do justice to these exhibits.....
