The Lincoln Memorial Shrine

A Lincoln Museum in Redlands, CA

Two hundred years after his birth, the life and legacy of Abraham Lincoln continues to fascinate and inspire. Born into poverty on the edge of an untamed frontier, his rise from obscurity to greatness has become a symbol of the universal hope that we can all improve our circumstances in life.

Lincoln Shrine Open House

A tradition since 1972, the Lincoln Shrine Open House is a part of the Shrine’s Lincoln Season of programming. Drawing over a thousand people each year, the Open House brings together Civil War reenactors, live music, and activities for the family, as well as showcasing new museum exhibits each year. Relive past Open Houses with this virtual photo album and videos!
