The Lincoln Collection Exhibit
See the brochure.
The Union Pacific Railroad Museum is closely linked with President Abraham Lincoln, having been founded following the 1921 discovery of several silver serving pieces from the President’s rail car. Artifacts from his life – and his legacy in uniting and connecting the United States – are at the core of the museum’s collection.
Union Pacific’s Lincoln Collection encompasses artifacts from the 16th president’s life and death, including furniture from his rail car, photographs, lithographs, busts, fabrics and medallions. The collection memorializes and celebrates the life of Lincoln, who – upon signing the Pacific Railway Act – became Union Pacific’s founding father, forever connecting and uniting the nation.
