Whether you are a child, adult, family, parent, or student, the Lincoln College Museum is a perfect place to visit. We specialize in personalized tours, greeting each individual as they enter our museum. Groups of all sizes and age levels are welcome, and we make our presentations and tours age-appropriate.

Teaching Enrichment At the Museum
We encourage schools to use our museum to facilitate the learning in the classroom. Museum staff have initiated a program called the T.E.A.M. project (Teaching Enrichment At the Museum). This includes a multi-age and multi-disciplinary educational experience in which the museum staff both invites students into the museum to use it as an educational resource; but additionally, T.E.A.M. serves as an outreach to area schools after the visit if desired. In the museum, we offer first-person storytelling, slide presentations, story time, scavenger hunts, and hands-on examination of certain collections, depending on the age. Call the museum for full details of how the museum can benefit your school, your classroom, and your students.

All other group tours, including bus tours, are equally welcome. We simply ask that you call in advance so arrangements may be made. For all groups, regardless of numbers, admission is free, but donations are welcome.

Plan your next trip to the Lincoln College Museum. It is large enough to make it worth your trip, but small enough to provide a personal touch. The Lincoln College Museum is fully handicapped accessible.

The Lincoln College Museum is easily accessible from Interstate 55. At exit 133, you will turn towards Lincoln on Woodlawn Road (which later becomes Keokuk Street).
