Lincoln Memorial University (LMU) is a private university in Harrogate, Tennessee. LMU's 1,000-acre (4.0 km2) campus borders on Cumberland Gap National Historical Park. As of fall 2023[update], it had 1,605 undergraduate and 4,200 graduate and professional students.[4]
LMU is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS). In March 2019, the LMU Duncan School of Law received full accreditation by the American Bar Association.
The university's Abraham Lincoln Library and Museum displays and interprets a large collection of memorabilia relating to the school's namesake, Abraham Lincoln, and the Civil War.[5] The collection was initially formed from donations by the school's early benefactor, General Oliver O. Howard, and his friends.[6]
