Conan Visits Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum In Illinois (VIDEO)

WATCH: Conan Visits Abe Lincoln Museum

Did you know that before he was the star of a Daniel Day-Lewis/Steven Spielberg movie, and well before he was a vampire hunter, Abraham Lincoln was actually a president? It's true! Conan O'Brien visited the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum in Springfield, Ill. while "Conan" shot a week of shows in Chicago.

A lifelong Lincoln fan who even made the Great Emancipator a stock character on his talk show, O'Brien got the chance to make some history jokes at the expense of both John Wilkes Booth and Mary Todd Lincoln at the museum.

Watch as Conan goofs around in the Lincoln gift shop, interviews four Lincoln impersonators and brings out a sexified version of the First Lady. Who knew the 16th president would be so hot in Hollywood 150 years after his death?
