Step back in time with short travel and little budget! Explore historical attractions across eras, including Abe Lincoln sites like the only home he ever owned, his final resting place… and the world-renowned, state-of-the-art Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum—which features two special effects-intensive theaters, a reproduction of the 1860 White House, and an overwhelming treasury of documents and artifacts.
