Visitors from around the globe have trekked to Springfield, Illinois the past five years to see the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum.  During the month of March, 2010, the Museum is making it easier for the folks from DeWitt, Moultrie, Piatt and Shelby Counties to visit.

Adult residents of DeWitt, Moultrie, Piatt and Shelby Counties may visit the Presidential Museum for half price during March of 2010, as part of the Museum's "Community Days" event.  After presenting a valid ID showing their place of residence, adults from these counties will pay just $5 each during the month to visit the nation's most popular presidential museum.  Admission prices for residents of other areas will remain the same - $10 for adults; $7 for students, military and senior citizens; and $4 for children under 15.

"Community Days offers our neighbors another reason to experience this treasure in their own back yards, whether they are first time or repeat visitors," said Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum Director Jan Grimes. "It is also an incentive to bring organizations to organize a one-day fan tour."

The Presidential Museum is open every day during March, 2010.  Special Communtiy Days admission prices will be offered to other Illinois counties during the year.  For more information on the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum, visit www.presidentlincoln.org.
