Join Tim Townsend of Lincoln Home National Historic site as he discusses the Lincoln neighborhood. Attractions at Lincoln Home National Historic Site include a new self-guided exhibit titled “Lincoln’s Springfield” that explores the lives of six individuals and the impact they made on their community presented through engaging graphic novel style narratives. Visitors, especially their target audience of 10–14-year-olds, will leave this exhibit with an appreciation of how the diversity of people found in Abraham Lincoln’s Springfield represents the vision of American promise that Lincoln held dear.
