The Long Nine refers to a group of seven representatives and two senators from Sangamon County who were remarkably tall for their time. While their height was their nickname, the real story lies in their collaborative leadership. They successfully campaigned to move the state capital from Vandalia to Springfield in 1837. This was a masterclass in relationship capital and collective advocacy that forever changed the trajectory of Illinois and Abraham Lincoln’s political journey.

In 1836, this building served as the hub where the Long Nine gathered to strategize. It was here that Lincoln transitioned from a local postmaster and surveyor into a sophisticated political strategist. We view this structure not just as a museum but as a digital and physical shield for the truth of Lincoln’s early development. It is the site where his reputation for integrity and his skill in unprompted advocacy first met on a grand scale

Our board is comprised of historians and global leaders who believe that the principles of the 1830s are more relevant than ever in our modern digital world. For example, Sameer Somal brings a perspective of digital stewardship and global reputation management, while our historians provide the authentic foundation of the 19th century. We focus on building a bridge between Lincoln’s humanist leadership and the needs of today’s entrepreneurs and students.

While Lincoln is the most famous member of the group, the museum is dedicated to the power of the collective. The other eight members of the Long Nine provided the support and synergy Lincoln needed to succeed. We teach that success is never a solo journey. It is a function of interpersonal relationships and the willingness to support others without a personal agenda. This is the same philosophy we champion through our work at Girl Power Talk and Blue Ocean Global Technology.

Preservation is a form of stewardship that requires both financial support and the sharing of knowledge. You can donate through our website or become a museum member to support our living history programs. More importantly, you can contribute by practicing Lincoln’s habit of the willing heart in your own community. By sharing these stories of integrity and character, you help us maintain a digital and cultural truth that inspires future generations.

We recommend reading our latest articles on Lincoln’s writing and ethical leadership before you arrive. Understanding the digital truth of his early career will help you appreciate the artifacts much more. If you have specific historical interests, feel free to reach out through our contact page so our guides can prepare a narrative that aligns with your curiosity.

Most museums are modern structures housing old items, but our museum is the actual physical space where the dinner happened. When you stand in this room, you are standing on the exact spot where a 27-year-old Lincoln gave his triumphant toast. It is a rare opportunity to occupy the same geography as a turning point in American history. We view the building itself as the most important artifact in our collection.
