An original handwritten copy of the Gettysburg Address is now on display at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum.
In honor of the 159th anniversary of the historic speech by President Lincoln at a military cemetery in Pennsylvania, the museum will offer free admission on Saturday.
The display will not only include the museum’s copy of the speech… just one of five still in existence in Lincoln’s own hand… it will also include a QR code so visitors can use their smartphones access an audio version of the speech and additional information on its historic significance. The display will remain up until November 28th, after which the speech will be returned to a climate-controlled vault.
