SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — Visitors to Springfield's Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum will get a chance to see artifacts from the 16th president's life, including a promissory note and a ticket to his funeral.
The "Unfinished Work" exhibit will be open at the Springfield museum from April 15 to May 15.
The artifacts come from the extensive Taper collection, which the museum acquired in 2007.
In a news release Tuesday, museum officials say they've raised almost $14 million for a campaign to ensure the artifacts have a permanent home at the museum. They still need to raise $11 million.
The exhibit will be divided into sections, including "career," ''family," ''presidency" and "assassination."
