Abraham Lincoln Shrine.

Abraham Lincoln Shrine

An amazing memorial to Abe Lincoln and the Civil War era. Inside there are many artifacts, and a place where scholars, students, and researchers can get a lot of information. There's even a hands-on experience when you can practice Morse Code. The volunteers are very friendly and knowledgeable about Lincoln and the Redlands area. Best of all, its free!
