Preservation Spotlight: A Road Trip to Remember
Watch our 2025 Lincoln Ideas Forum
Every year, President Lincoln’s Cottage hosts the Lincoln Ideas Forum to commemorate Lincoln’s last visit to the Cottage on the day before his assassination (April 13, 1865). The Forum brings together scholars and practitioners from distinct disciplines to analyze contemporary topics that relate to issues that Lincoln faced when living here.
This year the Forum theme was “fear itself.” If you missed it in person, you can watch the recording below!
