February 15th!
We cut the ribbon to officially open "American Visionary: John F. Kennedy's Life and Times," the new exhibition of photographs from JFK's life. The photos, many of them rarely seen before, offer a new perspective on JFK and Camelot. The exhibition runs through May 19.

The free member preview will be February 13th from 6:30 p.m.-8:30 p.m. RSVP by calling 217-557-5589 or emailing rsvp@alplm.org

February 19, 2019 from 6 p.m.-8 p.m.

Do you know about all the eerie parallels between Abraham Lincoln and John Kennedy? Elected 100 years apart, both former boat captains, both replaced by men named Johnson, the list goes on — except the “parallels” are routine coincidences, exaggerations, or outright lies. Join our experts for a fun look at what’s fact and what’s fiction in this famous claim. The event features Dr. Samuel Wheeler, the Illinois State Historian, and John T. Shaw, author of two books on President Kennedy.

Book/Ticket package includes John T. Shaw's newest book, Rising Star, Setting Sun: Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, and the Presidential Transition that Changed America.

Book guaranteed only when pre-purchased by Friday, February 8, 2019.

Museum will open at 6:00pm. Book signing at 6:00pm. Event begins at 6:30pm. Illinois Gallery will be open. Buy tickets now!
