“Things to Know Before You Visit the Museum”
Please do not bring large backpacks, bags or purses into the museum. Please stow these items in your car.
Please, no strollers in the museum exhibits. Strollers may be parked in the front foyer.
Do not touch historic items in the museum exhibits. It may seem tempting to touch the Lincoln bed, but the unseen oils on your hands will eventually break down the finish and destroy the woodwork and bed spread. Please do your part to act as a conservator and help us preserve these items for future generations.
Please be respectful while in the exhibits and speak in soft voices.
Please refrain from using your cellular telephone while in the exhibition rooms.
