Our nation's beloved 16th president, Abraham Lincoln, was a native of neighboring Kentucky. But you might not know that he envisioned "a great university for the people of this area" here in the Cumberland Gap. One hundred forty years later, Lincoln Memorial University is the heir of that vision, and we are very proud to wear his name and embrace his legacy.

Nestled in the pristine Appalachian Mountain range, LMU's main campus in Harrogate, TN, is both scenic and historic. About 55 miles north of Knoxville, TN, we're perfectly poised to offer a liberal arts education with a main campus full of activities for residential students and 10 extended sites in surrounding areas.
