America 250: America's Ultimate Block Party at ALPLM

The Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum is joining the America 250 Celebration in a big way on the 4th of July – and you’re invited! The day begins with FREE admission to the museum at 9:00 a.m., where you’ll be able to fully explore the life and legacy of our 16th president – including our new exhibit, “The Second American Revolution,” that reveals how the American Civil War and the era of Reconstruction transformed the United States, ending slavery, redefining citizenship, and expanding the promise of freedom and equality. Then get ready to be a part of America’s Ultimate Block Party -- the largest synchronized Fourth of July celebration in U.S. history -- starting at 3:00 p.m. in Union Square Park with old fashioned family fun, food trucks, a kid and pet parade, and highlighted by patriotic concert performances from Chicago’s premier symphonic brass ensemble and a re-created Civil War band that’s authentic in every detail. OLD FASHIONED FAMILY FUN! Bring your little red
