Beginning April 15 the ALPLM will have a new exhibit of Lincoln artifacts

[RJNorton]

A new exhibit opening April 15 at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum will give visitors intimate glimpses into Lincoln’s family, career, finances and presidency.

The “Unfinished Work” exhibit features documents and artifacts from the immense Taper collection. Among them:

• A promissory note in which Lincoln promised to pay $379.82, an amount he called “my national debt.”
• His patent for a mechanism to get stranded riverboats off of obstructions. No other U.S. president has held a patent.
• His beloved stepmother’s “X” signature on a receipt.
• A gorgeously illustrated copy of the Emancipation Proclamation.
• A ticket to his funeral at the White House.
