If you come through this misery alive... I want you to do something for all those mountain people who have been shut out of the world all these years. These words of President Abraham Lincoln to General O. O. Howard in 1863 proved to be the catalyst for the founding of LMU. Chartered on February 12, 1897, as a liberal arts university and the home of the Abraham Lincoln Museum. LMU continues its mission of providing an advanced education to people of this region.

Erected by Tennessee Historical Commission.
