The exhibit has been organized by James Gerald Henager, a lifelong Lincoln enthusiast. He and other volunteers have been working on the exhibit for seven months. It includes approximately 300 pieces of Lincoln memorabilia that are to be displayed for public viewing. The exhibit also includes more than three hours of film footage pertaining to Lincoln and his legacy. The centerpiece of the display is a flag that flew over the Capitol Building in Washington, D.C. on Lincoln's birthday --the start of the celebration. Items have come from all over the country as well as the National Park Service.

In 2008 the museum started showing Classic Movies. The movies are included in the regular admission to the museum. Every month the museum changes movie titles so everyone will be able to enjoy their favorite star from the past.
