Kim Yun-ok, wife of South Korean President Lee Myung-bak visited President Lincoln’s Cottage today. Director Frank Milligan led the First Lady on a tour of the Cottage, ending with a photo opportunity on the veranda overlooking the south lawn. After touring the Cottage, Curator Erin Mast led the First Lady and her guests through the special exhibit, “In Pursuit of Emancipation” to show them a rare, signed copy of the Emancipation Proclamation, one of 13 copies of the 13th Amendment, and the pen Lincoln used to sign the Proclamation.
