# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Lincoln: The Life and Legacy that Defined a Nation in 100 Objects
- **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 22 Apr, 2026 at 07:00 pm – Wed, 22 Apr, 2026 at 08:00 pm (-05:00)
- **Event Description**: Join us in the ALPLM Union Theater on Wednesday, April 22, for a special evening with our executive director Christina Shutt and chief of acquisitions Dr. Ian Hunt discuss their book: Lincoln: The Life and Legacy that Defined a Nation in 100 Objects. 

The book is the inspiration for our latest Illinois Gallery exhibit and provides an insightful approach to interpreting the 16th President and highlighting many of our most treasured artifacts.
While most histories of Abraham Lincoln concentrate on telling the stories of his life while using artifacts to reinforce those stories this book seeks to reverse that trend by telling the stories of the artifacts and demonstrating how they allow us to relate to Lincoln and his contemporaries.  

Doors will open at 6:00 p.m. You’ll have the opportunity to view the exhibit in our Illinois Gallery before the book discussion begins at 7:00 p.m.  

A meet and greet with Director Shutt and Dr. Hunt will follow the discussion, and you’ll have an opportunity to purchase the book and have it signed by the authors. 

This program is free to attend, but advance registration is required.  You may also purchase a book in advance of the program when you register on-line.
