Abe for All: Veterans Day

November 11th

The Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum will thank military veterans for their service to the country by offering them free admission on Veterans Day.

Members of the U.S. Armed Forces, both Active duty and Veterans, receive free museum admission on Veterans Day with proof of military service. Reservations are not required in advance—present proof of military service at the Museum Ticket Counter to receive promotion.

All other guests wanting to view the Museum exhibits will need to purchase regular Museum admission; they can do so at the ticket counter upon arrival or online in advance. Do not reserve a ticket online for Armed Forces members; their proof of service will be their ticket for the day.

The memorial flame greeting visitors outside the museum will feature the emblems of America’s military branches and quotes from Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address: “… that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain.”
