The Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum will begin welcoming visitors again on Monday, Jan. 25. The museum said clear, simple safety protocols will be in place to protect all guests.
Visitors will need to schedule their appointments in advance so the number of people in the building at any one time can be held to safe levels. Visitors will also have to wear masks that cover the mouth and nose, answer basic health questions and have their temperatures taken before they can enter.
The museum said the facility has been meticulously cleaned and disinfected, and protective barriers have been installed in key places to ensure guest and employee safety. Visitors will be also be encouraged to stay one “Lincoln” apart 6 feet, 4 inches the equivalent of President Lincoln’s height.
I’m reminded of the time that Abe, as a young man, was challenged to a duel. As was customary at the time, the person who received the challenge got to choose the weapons. Being of unusually tall stature and strong build, he chose broadswords. The other guy never showed up. ♂️
If I remember correctly, there was another incident where he broke up a fight by picking up one of the guys by hos throat and throwing him 6 or 7 feet onto his back.
I’ve never been to the Abe Lincoln Museum, but never forget that Honest Abe had a bad boy streak.
