Located just over the Kentucky boarder in Harrogate, Tennessee, the Abraham Lincoln Library and Museum serves an important constituency in Southeast Kentucky. The museum houses one of the
most diverse Lincoln and Civil War collections in the country. Exhibited are many rare items: the cane Lincoln carried that fateful night at Ford’s Theater, two life masks, the tea set he and Mary Todd used in their home in Springfield, and numerous other artifacts. Approximately 30,000 books, manuscripts, pamphlets, photographs, paintings and sculptures tell the story of President Lincoln and the Civil War period in America’s history.
