Lincoln and Nauvoo

Looking for Lincoln wayside exhibits tell the stories of Lincoln’s life and times in Illinois.  Each wayside exhibit tells a unique Lincoln story and a local story.  Many of the waysides share little known stories about Lincoln and the individuals he interacted with.  There are over 260 Looking for Lincoln waysides in the Abraham Lincoln National Heritage Area.   

In the video below, Bryan Andreason, historian from the LDS History Museum in Salt Lake City, offered a presentation for the Looking for Lincoln Conversations video series. The video, 'Lincoln in Mormon Country,' discusses the intertwined history of Lincoln and The Church of Latter Day Saints.
