Public Programs
From live conversations to guided walking tours, our Public Programs offer new ways to explore history, leadership and legacy. Whether you’re joining in-person or online, there’s something for every kind of curiosity.
Join our Cabinet Conversation series for live discussions on leadership, creativity and Lincoln’s legacy, or dive into History Talks for deeper explorations of the people and events that shaped our past. Set out on one of our walking tours through the city and surrounding areas with a passionate guide, or join an intimate tour of one of our historic spaces for a closer look. Check our calendar for upcoming book talks with authors and historians.
