Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum (ALPLM)

Hair from Lincoln’s killer and other historic relics linked to the 16th president are up for sale, including pieces that appear identical to artifacts once purchased for display in the state-run Lincoln presidential museum in Springfield.

The display can be seen at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum.

Known as the “strawberry dress” for its decorative pattern of berries and leaves, the dress can be seen in the special exhibit.

For many Illinoisans, it’s a sentimental ending to see “Honest Abe’s” coin disappear

Orientation for potential new volunteers will be February 4.

The rink in Union Square Park uses an artificial surface to give an experience similar to ice skating but at temperatures above freezing. Visitors can use their own skates or borrow them at the ALPLM’s historic Union Station.
