Lincoln: Sight, Sound & Touch at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum
Looks like this event has already taken place.
Fri, May 23 – Sun, Aug 24, 2025 • 9:00am - 5:00pm
212 N. Sixth St., Springfield, IL 62701
Lincoln: Sight, Sound & Touch is on display at the ALPLM, May 23 - August 24
Experience a new way of exploring Abraham Lincoln and his role in shaping American identity. Images from Lincoln’s life are transformed into three-dimensional objects that visitors can touch. When they do, their fingers trigger audio presentations explaining his accomplishments and enduring legacy. Everyone can enjoy the unique touch tables, but they offer an especially powerful experience for visitors with impaired vision.
The ALPLM’s commitment to accessibility was recognized in the recent national accreditation designation. We have made our interpretive labels accessible with new language options, along with audio narrations and transcriptions of letters and documents. But this exhibit represents a new peak in the ALPLM’s accessibility for visually impaired patrons and provides the opportunity to learn for future planning.
A graphic created specifically for the ALPLM will feature the Gettysburg Address. The large graphic element, which lets patrons literally touch Lincoln’s words, will highlight the historical importance of the speech and the ALPLM’s hand-written copy of it.
