Lincoln-Douglas Debate Museum

Museums

Host of The Turning Point Exhibit, the Lincoln-Douglas Debate Museum is a great resource for information on the sixth debate.

The Center was an undertaking of the Looking for Lincoln Heritage Coalition and the Lincoln Bicentennial Commission. It is located across the street from Washington Park and the 1858 debate site and was dedicated in October 2009 as a lasting legacy to the sixth debate and to commemorate Abraham Lincoln’s place in Quincy’s history.
