The "Lincoln Room" is located in the historic Wills House, where President Lincoln stayed the night before he gave his Gettysburg Address on November 19, 1863. The house was used as a hospital site after the Battle of Gettysburg. A new museum -- opened in 2008 -- focuses on Abraham Lincoln and the Gettysburg Address.
