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. Directions
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). Once you pass the Union Street
stoplight, look left a few blocks later for the seated Lincoln
statue
at the corner of Keokuk and Ottawa Street on the Lincoln College
campus. The McKinstry Building houses the museum.
