Designed by Disney "imagineers" so there's not much to read, but lots of flashy effects and a "pose with the Lincolns" wax dummy photo op.

Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum
The wax figures, although well crafted, retain a bit of Halloween creepiness. Which I like.
[Rex McManamy, 10/13/2020]Surprised this is on Roadside America. Attraction lacks quirkyness that other attractions exude. Felt like a corporate-driven museum. Also not impressed by a lady soliciting us to join the foundation for $70.00 for 4 tickets at the entrance. This was billed as a cost savings to us, but in doing the math, that would be four tickets for the cost of six. If you do not have children, would recommend skipping.
