I just got back from Springfield, Illinois where I saw the Lincoln Museum. It is great!!! Whether you are knowledgeable and are just updating your knowledge or whether you know little to nothing about Lincoln, you will enjoy the movies, interactive displays and the artifacts and re-creations of the log cabin and the White House. If you like Lincoln or the American Civil War, I cannot recommend it highly enough. Just comparing the electioneering of 1860 to present day elections make you realize, nothing has changed. We just have more media to be horribly mean to people with. There is much more to see in the town besides the Lincoln Museum, but if you go, make that museum a priority. You will not regret it. |

Agreed-- My wife and I went there in 2005. great place. I went to college in Springfield, IL and have visited the lincoln sites multiple times. So you are right, in addition to the library there are great things to see about his life. One of my former college classmates works on the Lincoln Legal papers project, SO I was granted access to the downstaris of the old state capitol where those offices are housed. |
