In addition to the holiday activities, visitors are encouraged to explore the museum's exhibits and collections, which highlight the life and legacy of Abraham Lincoln and the history of the Civil War. The celebration also gives community members a chance to experience the museum in a festive setting while enjoying an afternoon with family and friends.
