Green Bay, Wis.(WFRV)--Director Steven Spielberg's movie "Lincoln" could be considered one of the highlights of the year in film.
    And now, the Neville Public Museum in Green Bay is adding its own Lincoln artifact.
    A unique photograph of the former president will be on display at the Neville.
    The photo is one of only two signed pictures of Lincoln and his son Tad.
    The Neville's curator says this photo is a perfect way to bring in an audience of all ages.
    Louise Pfotenhauer, Curator of Collections, "There is a  big connection between popular culture and history, believe it or not, and when we can share that with the public, we would like to do that."
    If you would like to check out the Lincoln picture, it will only be on display for about a month at the Neville.
    For more information on the museum's hours,  head to their website. 

    Local Five's Kris Schuller talked with Louise Pfotenhauer today at 4pm to learn more about the photograph's historical significance.
