| A Day Trip to Springfield |
A day trip to Springfield, the capital city of Illinois. I spent the day taking a trip to Springfield to visit the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum and Library, as well as his tomb.
I went on a Sunday so I can't speak about the city's nature during the hustle and bustle of weekday business, but on this day, it seemed almost like a ghost town. But, I didn't really go to visit the city, I went specifically to visit the museum, library, and tomb.
I didn't get the chance to visit the library because I spent much more time than I anticipated in the museum and I wanted to go see the tomb and get back to Urbana-Champaign before it got dark.
The museum was quite interesting and if you take the time, you can learn a great deal about Abraham Lincoln's life, his presidency, and U.S. history during that time, especially as it relates to the civil war.
Abraham lincoln is considered by many to be one of the greatest, if not the greatest, U.S. presidents so a visit to his museum is definitely worth a day spent. I took a few photos and thought perhaps you might enjoy seeing them.
