INFO

As Springfield celebrates the reenactment of Abraham and Mary Lincoln’s wedding, you’re invited to deepen the experience at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library & Museum.

  • See the original marriage license, signed by Rev. Charles Dresser—the very man who officiated the Lincolns’ union.
  • Marvel at Mary’s wedding skirt, a timeworn treasure offering a rare and intimate glimpse into the Lincolns’ wedding day. Preserved with care, this delicate garment whispers of a quiet moment in their unfolding story.
