Abraham Lincoln Library and Museum, Harrogate

My family thoroughly enjoyed the Abraham Lincoln Library and Museum. The museum have interesting artifacts and displays of the history of Lincoln Memorial University at the beginning. The museum also displays a chronology of Lincoln's heritage and life, humanizing the 16th President of the United States. The museum has a lot of authentic US Civil War surgical kits and weapons. There are displays discussing the history of Harrogate area at the time of the US Civil War along with army and naval historical information. Very affordable even for a family of 6 like us. For littles, there is a large discovery room with dress up clothes, Lincoln Logs, theme books, and hands on cabinets for fun learning history. I highly recommend a visit!

Third largest private Lincoln collection in the world. Artifacts include a corner cabinet made by Lincoln's father, scales used by Lincolin while he was a grocer in New Salem, the Lincoln family Springfield tea set, White House items, and actual funerary ornaments. Also, a wide selection of Civil War artifacts, including weapons, uniforms, naval history, and medical history. Areas within the museum for children to explore history is the Lincoln Learning Lab, a place where they can interact with replicas, dress-up, make crafts, and explore the past.
