I love the Chicago History Museum at 1601 N. Clark Street, The Chicago History Museum stands at the crossroads of America’s past and its future. See Lincoln Treasures, manuscripts of the Gettysburg Address and explore Lincoln’s views on slavery, the Union and his posthumous role as an American icon.
