About the Exhibit: “Lincoln's Springfield” explores the stories of six members of the historic community whose diverse life experiences illustrate the promise and potential of the American experiment. Using original graphic narratives, full-color illustrations, and interactive features, this exhibit is the first at Lincoln Home NHS created to serve a youth audience (ages 10-14) while appealing to visitors of all ages. This exhibit is free and open to the public.
