Vote For Me - The Quest For The White House 1788-2008

In 2008, a presidential election year, the Friends of The Lincoln Museum will mount an interactive temporary exhibit based upon the history of Presidential elections. The exhibit will examine the electoral process as it has evolved over 220 years. It will explore: the nominating process; campaigns which focused on one or two major issues, as opposed to campaigns which were strictly driven by personality; and elections which took place during war. The birth (Democrats and Republicans) and death (Mugwumps, Know Nothings, and Loco Focos) of specific political parties will be portrayed; and we will present a section devoted to the backgrounds of the men who eventually triumphed. We will also focus on several elections which changed the course of the nation.
