A new temporary exhibit is in the Rolland Center for Lincoln Research from April 2, 2025, to May 27, 2025.
In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, the Rolland Center for Lincoln Research at the Allen County Public Library will unveil a new exhibit case on display from April 1, 2025, through May 27, 2025. Visit to reflect on the life of Mary Lincoln following the death of her husband, President Abraham Lincoln. Explore a selection of the collection’s hidden gems from the last twenty years of this former first lady’s life when her struggle with her mental health became apparent. Notable items featured in this exhibit include legal documents from her “insanity” trial. Mary lived during a time of profound social change, including how mental health was viewed. However, the broad avenues of support that can be found today were not available in Mary’s lifetime. This exhibit is free and open to the public seven days a week. For questions, email Lincoln@ACPL.info.
