With a long-standing interest and passion for Lincolnania, Lewis Lehrman created The Lincoln Institute, which is dedicated to providing assistance to scholars and groups interested in the study of the life of President Abraham Lincoln. Over the past few years, the website for the Institute has grown to include a number of very fine online exhibits that explore various aspects of Mr. Lincoln’s life. With simple and declarative titles, such as “Mr. Lincoln’s White House”, “Mr. Lincoln and Friends”, and “Mr. Lincoln and New York”, these online exhibits provide an entry into understanding Lincoln’s relationships with these places and tropes that dominated his life. The interactive exhibit exploring Lincoln’s time in New York (and with notable New Yorkers) is quite a pip, and it includes a section that allows users to learn about where Lincoln spent his time in this bustling metropolis.
