Join us on Saturday or Sunday this weekend to celebrate two historic birthdays! 

On Saturday, February 10, visit the Museum to wish Honest Abe a happy 209th birthday. (He won’t mind that it’s two days early!) Listen to stories about daily life in the White House with the first family told by President Lincoln himself, portrayed by Living Historian Howard Wright. And don’t miss your chance to look inside Honest Abe’s top hat or try to tell time on his special pocket watch!

Exactly 200 years ago this month, Frederick Douglass was born! Return on Sunday, February 11, to meet Frederick Douglass.
