Judge Stringer was also an avid collector of Abraham Lincoln and Logan County related artifacts, and published a definitive history of Logan County in 1911.

The collection was originally housed in “the Lincoln Room” in the basement of the Administration Building and was dedicated on Feb. 11, 1944. Part of Judge Stringer’s collection was lost in the Administration Building fire in 1969, but most of it was preserved in the vault and later relocated to space in the McKinstry Library building. The Museum closed from August 2013 through April 26, 2014, to facilitate the move to its current location in the Lincoln Center. Located on the campus of the only college named for Lincoln in his lifetime, the Lincoln Heritage Museum exhibits a rare and valuable collection of artifacts that tell the story of the life and times of Abraham Lincoln. The Museum tells the story of Abraham Lincoln through audio-visual displays, and includes artifacts such as Civil War weapons, a table at which Lincoln studied, one of his favorite rocking chairs, and several of his own books and tools. Through these displays visitors will learn about Lincoln’s personal side: how he persevered to overcome adversity; how his ambition and vision drove him to succeed; how his empathy and intellect made him a great leader and other personal lessons from Lincoln’s life experience.
