President Abraham Lincoln's words to General O. O. Howard in 1863, urging help for mountain people who had been shut out of the world for years, became the catalyst for the founding of Lincoln Memorial University. Chartered on February 12, 1897, it was established as a liberal arts university and as the home of the Abraham Lincoln Museum. Lincoln Memorial University continues its mission of providing an advanced education to people of this region.
