Don’t miss Tuesday, April 2 in recognition of the 16th annual World Autism Awareness Day, the Abe for All series at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library & Museum will offer a Sensory Friendly Evening. During this special event from 4:00 p.m.- 6:00 p.m. They are offering guests free admission and a sensory-friendly experience. Our theater and Journey lights will be turned up, and the sound turned down. Some special effects will be turned off. A quiet room will be provided. Advance registration is not required. We have developed a pre-visit preparation packet that ranks areas of the museum based on their potential to overstimulate. This can be found in the “Plan Your Visit” section of our website or email ALPLM.GuestEntry@illinois.gov and request a packet.
We are committed to providing an inclusive experience for all and if there are other things we can do to ensure a more welcoming experience, please let us know. You can reach us 9am – 5pm daily by calling 217-558-8844 (TTY/TDD 1-888-440-9009) or email ALPLM.GuestEntry@Illinois.gov
