— Mary Lincoln, 1862Exhibits at the Visitor Education Center
*Exhibit EXTENDED! Being Lincoln will close on October 2, 2011
Since his presidency, Lincoln has been resurrected on stage and the silver screen. Lincoln still appears on stage and screen, but today it's more common to find Lincoln posing for photo opportunities at private parties, waving to crowds from a parade float, or speaking to students in the classroom. While Lincoln's iconic image makes it easy enough to look like him, being like Lincoln means something else entirely.
Explore the difference between looking like Lincoln and really being like Lincoln.
