Gettysburg address

Gettysburg address Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum

Only five copies of the Gettysburg Address, handwritten by President Abraham Lincoln himself, exist. One is in the White House. One is at Cornell University. Two more are at the Library of Congress. The fifth copy belongs to the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum in Springfield... and at about this time every year, the museum puts its copy on display.
