Washington, D.C. – Today President Lincoln’s Cottage announced that it has joined Museums for All, a signature access program of the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), administered by the Association of Children’s Museums (ACM). Museums for All is part of the Cottage’s broad commitment to seek, include, and welcome all audiences to be inspired by Lincoln’s brave ideas and to continue the fight for freedom and equality today.
The program supports those receiving food assistance (SNAP) benefits visiting President Lincoln’s Cottage to waive admission of up to four people with the presentation of a SNAP Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card. Similar free and reduced admission is available to eligible members of the public at museums across the country in an effort to make museum experiences accessible to more people.
Museums for All helps expand access and raise public awareness about how museums in the U.S. are reaching their entire communities. The Cottage joins more than 850 institutions in the initiative, including art museums, children’s museums, science centers, botanical gardens, zoos, fellow history museums, and more.
Museums for All tickets can be accessed online from the President Lincoln’s Cottage website and in person at the museum shop.
