Ivan About Town

We went around Abraham Lincoln's hometown today: Springfield, Illinois. In the morning, I passed by his tomb deep inside the Oak Ridge Cemetery. We then visited the grand Illinois State Capitol before proceeding to the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum and Library. The exhibits and shows were wonderful!

I walked five blocks to the Lincoln Home. In fact, they preserved the neighborhood around it. Even the street surface was replicated. From there, I visited the building where his law office was located which is in front of the Old State Capitol.
