Ford’s Theatre in Washington, D.C. is where Abe Lincoln got shot in the head. Their Center for Education and Leadership is now open to the public and features a tower made of books about Lincoln.
Inside the Center, the museum display company Split Rock Studios built a 35-foot tower of books, a visual symbol of the 15,000+ titles written about Abraham Lincoln, the 16th president of the United States.
These photos from the Center for Education and Leadership are by Laura Keene, unless otherwise noted:
