Picturing the Past

This day-long event features vintage photography specialist Mark Cornelison, displays of historical photos, and hands-on activities. Learn how tintype photos are made, have one taken for a fee, and see rarely displayed original images of Todd and Lincoln family members and a photo timeline of the MTL House. Hands-on fun includes a Mary-and-Abe selfie station and kids’ activities that explore children’s and portrait photos.
Ongoing activities with museum admission. Free to members! Have your tintype made for an additional $75 fee.
